They offer an opportunity to experience that wine is more than just a beverage: It’s a lifestyle, a mindfulness practice, and a gateway to enriching life experiences.
Sommelier, wine ambassador and (co-)owner Cathy Moerdijk uses the “wine factor” to enable her guests, clients and community members to enjoy the life fully and to follow their passions and dreams. She believes that mastering the art of tasting wine can improve their mental and physical well-being, elevate their social interactions, and transform their perspective on life.
At Puurwijn.shop, Cathy fosters a community of like-minded individuals who value the finer things in life. By joining the wine club, wine enthusiasts enjoy exclusive tastings, meet-the-winemaker events, and educational workshops that expand their wine knowledge while connecting them with others who share their passion.
As Cathy Moerdijk puts it, “Wine is not just about tasting; it’s about caring, sharing, and appreciating the beauty of life.” With her personalized wine consultancy and wine culture education, she helps business professionals gain the confidence to stand out at any social gathering or business dinner.
As experienced mentors of hundreds of successful people in the business, Cathy and her husband, Imko Binnerts, the award-winning Master Chef of Puur Zee Restaurant, are looking forward to supporting especially young professionals and graduates in upcoming retreats with warm and passionate, embracing hospitality as “modern elders”.
“Why do I do this at this stage c.q age?” Cathy smiles. “Well, I want to share my passion and wisdom to the benefit of hopefully many people, so that they, too, will find their wow in the now.” Combining luxury, education, and mindfulness, the upcoming wine retreats offer the perfect opportunity to recharge and embrace the transformative power of wine. Through a blending of wine knowledge, Yoga, Reiki and sound healing, they take the guests on a journey of self-discovery, well-being, and indulgence.
