It’s a big thing actually, because as far as I know this is the first time in ages that a variation on the original recipe is produced. Also it’s rather an exclusive thing, because there’s only six bottles of it in Belgium and will be released in a very limited amount only at airports. So…

Campari soon opens new piazza of pleasure in Antwerp: Gaspare La Piazza Dell’Aperitivo
We were invited into an old courtyard right in the centre of medieval Antwerp where Campari will open a new bar on May 5th called: Gaspare La Piazza Dell’Aperitivo. The moment we set foot in it, we fell in love with it. Tucked away from the commercial chaos of the city and her typical traffic…

Geen cocktailbar deze keer, maar een gezellig Grill Restaurant in de heuvelachtige streek tussen Wemmel en Kobbegem, De Lindenhoeve. Profiterend van de Belgische nazomer, waagden we ons deze zondag aan een fietstochtje in de Brabantse Heuvelkouters.
