Opius × Fourchette 2026: Bringing Alcohol-Free Craft to the Table

From 30 October to 1 November 2026, Opius partnered with Fourchette in Belgium. The top culinary event’s seventh edition brought together 18 leading chefs and nearly 2,000 guests for three days of gastronomy, discovery and conversation. A fitting setting for our handcrafted Belgian non-alcoholic elixirs.

A Celebration of Belgian Gastronomy

In a new setting on Sluisweg, Fourchette gathered some of Belgium’s most distinctive culinary talents. The 2026 line-up included Michaël Vrijmoed, Sang Hoon Degeimbre, Kobe Desramaults and Maarten Bouckaert.

The format brings guests close to the craft. Working from open kitchens, chefs prepare their signature dishes while visitors explore different culinary perspectives at their own pace. Individual styles, brought together by a shared dedication to flavour.

The Same Attention in the Glass

A great dish demands precision. What accompanies it deserves the same attention.

At Opius, we handcraft non-alcoholic botanical elixirs in small batches in Belgium. Through fermentation, distillation and maceration, we build layers of flavour, body and a long finish. Herbs, spices and other botanicals give each elixir its distinctive character.

It is an approach rooted in the qualities we value in gastronomy: curiosity about ingredients, respect for the process and the ambition to create something worth discovering.

We believe choosing alcohol-free should open up an equally compelling world of flavour. From an aperitif that starts the evening to a cocktail that leaves a lasting impression, every glass deserves care.

A Shared Dedication to Craft

As a partner of Fourchette 2026, we were proud to support an event that brings people together through culinary creativity. It was an opportunity to celebrate a shared appreciation for flavour, craftsmanship and hospitality.

Thank you to the Fourchette team, the chefs and everyone who helped bring this seventh edition to life.
