Join Merchant du Vin Saturday, March 22nd for Orval Day 2025! Share your celebrations with #OrvalDay. Our charity for this year is National Forest Foundation.
Orval is a world-renowned Trappist ale with a cult following. Orval Day commemorates the legend of Princess Matilda, and thus the legendary Trappist beer Orval on the third Saturday of March every year.
Matilda lost her wedding ring in a spring along the Belgian countryside. She knelt to pray that her ring would be found when a trout swam up returning it. Matilda was grateful and donated the land to the church, naming it Orval, or golden valley.
