Additional Information
We invite you to delve into an exploration of the Netherlands through the lens of its iconic cheese. Sample six different organic cheeses from the region, supplemented by a selection of other organic treats, all served with a choice of organic wine or traditional Dutch pilsner.
This intimate gathering (limited to 10 participants) fosters a laid-back yet social atmosphere. Your well-versed host will situate Dutch cheese within its historical and cultural framework, in addition to describing each cheese in detail.
While the cheese tasting segment spans an unhurried 60 minutes, the event often extends beyond this timeframe, as attendees typically linger for pleasant, post-tasting discussion.

A lively and fun social event - We had a lot of fun! Rory the host got everyone introduced and kept the evening moving, while Marcel provided lots of expert knowledge about the (delicious) wines and cheeses we were tasting. Plenty of cheese, and enough wine to get everyone talking! Highly recommended if you're looking for a bit of fun with a good mix of learning, socializing and eating/drinking!

Great experience. - We had a fabulous time at the cheese and wine event. It was great meeting up with the other participants, enjoying our cheese and nice wine. It was really fun and thoroughly enjoyable. The people running it did a great job. Hadn't thought of doing this before but I learned a lot about Dutch culture as well as enjoying the tastings. Definitely recommend this attraction.
