A vineyard at the heart of an Arnhem estate

Groot Warnsborn is an estate hotel just outside Arnhem—about a five-minute reach from the city—where a historic manor and adjacent coach house meet modern comfort. Recognised as "Estate of the Year," the property brings together accommodation, dining, and extensive event facilities with direct access to 750 hectares of monument-listed forest.

Within this landscape, Groot Warnsborn’s on-site vineyard adds a distinctive touch to the estate experience. It’s part of the leisure offering guests can enjoy on the grounds, naturally complementing the estate’s landscaped terrace gardens and the surrounding woodland.

Ways to enjoy the vineyard during your stay

Slow strolls and photo moments

• Walk the estate at your own pace and let the vineyard frame your morning or golden-hour stroll.
• Combine your outing with the landscaped terrace gardens for a gentle circuit that feels worlds away yet sits at the estate’s doorstep.
• Set out directly from the hotel on walking routes that begin at Groot Warnsborn and continue into the surrounding woodland.

Pair the scene with estate dining

• Settle in for lunch or dinner at Restaurant La Belle Source or Brasserie de Bron after your vineyard walk.
• Toast the day at Bar de Bron, or elevate an afternoon with the estate’s dedicated High Tea service.
• For intimate celebrations, Private Dining is available on the estate—ideal after a leisurely exploration of the grounds.

Make it part of a special occasion

• Weddings at Groot Warnsborn can encompass the ceremony, reception, dinner, and evening party. The vineyard and gardens offer a sublime backdrop for pre- or post-celebration strolls.
• Corporate gatherings benefit from a restorative setting between sessions. Meeting rooms and thoughtfully curated meeting-break options help teams recharge, with the estate’s green spaces close at hand.
• Company events, parties, and special New Year gatherings can all find their place here; request a tailored quotation to plan the details.

Stay next to nature: rooms and suites

Make your vineyard escape complete with a room that keeps the outdoors close.

• Warnsborn Suites: Spacious suites with an open sitting area and, in most cases, a French balcony or terrace overlooking the estate.
• Superior rooms (approximately 35 m²): Slightly larger than Luxe rooms (about 30 m²), featuring a separate sitting area and often a French balcony or, in some cases, a terrace with estate views.
• Two distinct styles: Rooms in the manor house offer a rustic, classic, romantic feel; those in the coach house bring a spacious, Scandinavian aesthetic with abundant natural light.
• Thoughtful amenities: Bath, separate shower, toilet, television, minibar, radio, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and Wi‑Fi. All rooms are non‑smoking.

These details make it easy to return from the vineyard or a woodland walk to a comfortable space with serene outlooks across the estate.
