Rubbens Gebroeders bv

Set on the banks of the Scheldt in Wichelen, this heritage distillery and brewery offers a distinctive setting for events that need personality and flexibility. At its heart is a light filled function hall on the first floor, served by a lift and accessible facilities, with sweeping river views and an adjoining terrace that elevates summer receptions and golden hour photos. The hall comfortably hosts celebrations and corporate occasions for 30 to 250 guests, from weddings and milestone parties to product launches, awards, strategy days and end of year gatherings.

In house catering is provided by the on site brasserie, bringing seasonal dishes and house made ingredients to the table. Menus can be tailored to suit formal dining, relaxed buffets or standing receptions, and the bar showcases the venue’s own small batch spirits and freshly brewed beers for memorable pairings. Event planners can enrich programmes with immersive activities, including guided tours of the working distillery and brewery, tutored tastings, and a hands on gin school experience that is ideal for teambuilding or client entertainment.

The site blends industrial character with contemporary comfort, giving planners a versatile blank canvas that sets the right tone for both private and business events. Professional coordination, straightforward hire options and a single scenic location make it easy to deliver smooth logistics and standout guest experiences. If you are seeking a venue in East Flanders that combines local craft, culinary flair and practical event features, this riverside address is a compelling choice.
