As part of the Woordfees program we are presenting a series our our sensorial tasting for you to enjoy. Set in the private Green Room of the Spier Manor, this intimate experience invites guests to taste their way through the Creative Block range blindfolded.

Spier welcomes Erloom, a young Dutch culinary collective, for an eight week residency, the first time this Hilvarenbeek based group has worked outside the Netherlands. Founded by chef Gijs Bruurs and grown out of a summer restaurant on an organic farm, Erloom is built around fire, nature and the people gathered around the table.

We’re standing at a threshold. The old models - of medicine as war against the body, of agriculture as war against the soil, of economics as extraction without relationship - are collapsing under their own weight. In their place, something new is emerging: a return to natural law, to the intelligence already encoded in biological systems, waiting to be remembered rather than invented.
