"Wine is the only artwork you can drink"

Jolien Van Puyvelde and Robby Baccaert were both trained at the O.L.V.P. Hotel School in Lokeren. Robby completed additional training to become a sommelier, and in 2019, he was chosen as the ‘Sommelier of the Year - East Flanders’.

Jolien and Robby gathered most of their professional experience in Restaurant ’t Korennaer, under the wings of Michelin-star chef Edwin Van Goethem. After 11 years there, they decided, with grateful hearts, to strike out on their own. And they love nothing more than to unleash their ideas and creativity for your enjoyment.
