Undutchables in the city - Utrecht

After Carla’s you might want to pop in next door to Petit Clos. Petit Clos is a wine house and is a favorite of the Undutchables personnel in Utrecht whenever one needs a nice bottle of wine to bring back home for the weekend. Petit Clos offers a great variety of wines and the personnel is always available for advice. When leaving Petit Clos do not forget to visit the Undutchables office, which is only 2 doors down from the wine house, and say hello to our Utrecht team.
