Dinner with the Queen 2026 June & Sept 2026
“A culinary adventure focusing on the importance of the queen bee & its workers ...or how climate sensitization can also be experienced in an extremely positive way.” With Dinner With The Queen, Michiel Van Colenberghe (Michiel Kookt) and event planner Gilles De Backer (Utopia Events), in collaboration with Lode of “Herbs Claus,” are bringing a piece of Provence to Flanders in honor of the royal bee & her workers. For culinary delights at an orchard at sunset, travel to the Purfruit organic orchard in Oeselgem in 2023 from June 12 to September 30.
Climate awareness with a glass of wine
The evening starts with a “Save The Queen” cocktail based on Gin and urban honey. Farmer Bart then provides a dash of folklore. He takes us through the picking fields and the history behind his fruit vines. Then it's time for a tête-à-tête with the queen bee while beekeeper Ronny removes a window from his hive and explains a bit about the queen and its importance for biodiversity. Next on the menu is an herb tasting with Lode from Herb Claus. As a final stop, guests take their seats in a beautiful sail cloth tent in the middle of a flower meadow. Ready for a top 5 course dinner by Michiel Van Colenberghe with a unique sunset. Per visitor, we plant 1m2 of forest in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil in collaboration with Retopia. Retopia is a project of Arne Quinze & Go Forest (Sarah Parent) It may be said : Climate awareness certainly does not have to be boring, that much is for sure!
