Amazing atmosphere, great wine! - Jerom, our wine expert, really knew his stuff. He made the winetasting super fun and informative. The charcuterie he picked out was spot-on too, making each wine taste even better. It was a chilled-out, enjoyable experience that left us feeling like we learned something new about wine.

Wonderful way to start our week in Amsterdam - We had an absolutely wonderful time at our Dutch wine tasting experience. Rowan was our hostess and she was absolutely lovely and incredibly knowledgeable about wine. The tasting was private, well prepared, great variety and delicious snacks to accompany the wine. We loved the Dutch red blend and bought a bottle to take home with us. This was our first activity of a week long trip to Amsterdam and a wonderful way to start the trip.

Experience Orange Wine and more - Rose is amazing! We had a very personal experience with an introduction to Dutch wine! It was really great learning from her as we had no clue there was wine culture in the Netherlands. We got to try our very first Orange wine as well. Wine and food lovers, book! No regrets guaranteed!

A highlight of any trip - AMAZING! One of the best experiences on my trip. Diederik is so knowledgeable about the wines that you don’t just taste them but you experience them. Also when paired with the charcuterie it just makes for a great time. I will definitely do this again next time I’m in Amsterdam.

Fantastic extensive wine tasting - Had a great afternoon thanks to Diederik and his enthusiasm for and knowledge about wine (and everything surrounding it). We received an extremely friendly welcome, and soon there was an extensive conversation about all aspects of the types of wine. We were both positively surprised and would love to come back! We are now still enjoying the wines we bought at home :)

The perfect evening. - Diederik was fantastic! He is educated in his craft, passionate and personable. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Dutch wines and appreciated the extra time Diederik spent recommending restaurants and cocktail bars that I asked about. I highly recommend this experience if you love wine and want to explore Dutch vintages.
