This cocktail workshop has a strong focus on interaction and creativity. From the moment you arrive, you are actively involved, learning by doing rather than listening to long explanations. The experience is guided by professional bartenders who use real bar techniques and share insider knowledge you can easily apply at home. Another unique element is the seasonal cocktail menu. Instead of a fixed or standard selection, the menu changes throughout the year, using fresh ingredients and flavors that match the season and the atmosphere of the moment. This ensures that every workshop feels fresh and different, even for returning guests. Located right on Rembrandtplein, the workshop combines high-quality cocktails with one of Amsterdam’s most energetic settings. The inclusive approach offering equally refined alcohol-free alternatives means everyone can enjoy the same premium bar experience together, making it a fun, social, and memorable activity in the city.

Delicious Dutch pancakes!!

A friendly experience. Our hostess welcomed us into her home graciously with conversation and lovely environment. Well prepared and thoughtful gifts. Delicious pancakes and local wine. We made one sweet and one savory pancake. She taught us how to flip the pancakes with one hand and no spatula! She also gave us a fabulous dinner suggestion which we were so happy we attended. Try Badcuyp for dinner if you want a delicious local experience in a beautiful setting!

Ece was perfect to say the least. Aside from being dropdead gorgeous, she was very informative, kept everyone involved through each step, and made sure there was never a dull moment with her humor. She had some background music playing as well and has great taste in music.

Outstanding, fun time

the experience was so much fun, very informative and interesting. the girl taking rhe workshop was engaging, funny and really friendly. The stroopwaffels are huge and really tasty. only issue was it was very cramped a d really hot, although the staff has put fans on and left tje door to the store open to alleviate some of the heat. one of the eaffle irons was not working and I feel this made the process a bit slower but it didnt take away from the fact that it was a brilliant experience rhat I highly recommend

A must do for natives of Holland and tourists

I had a wonderful experience at the Dutch Wine Tasting. The selection of wines was excellent, and the atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and enjoyable. What truly made the experience stand out was our host, Michael. He was exceptional, knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about wine. Michael took the time to explain each wine in a way that was both informative and easy to understand, making the tasting enjoyable for beginners and wine enthusiasts alike. His enthusiasm and attention to detail created a memorable experience. I highly recommend this wine tasting to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and well-organized event. Thank you, Michael, for an outstanding experience!

What a wonderful...

What a wonderful opportunity to be part of a Dutch home meal for a couple hours. The host was kind, confident and thorough in her training. It was also nice to learn about Dutch history and culture from a native. I even went to the store to buy supplies to take home and recreate the appetizer. I would recommend this experience.
