Amsterdam Guided Craft Beer Tasting with Cheese & Sausage

1 hourFree Cancellation

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.

Amsterdam Traditional Dutch Syrup Waffle Making Workshop

Was Fun Even as the Only Solo in a Group with All Young Children and Parents

Fun whether you’re by yourself or with family. It’s obviously a very touristy way to try stroopwaffels, but I definitely think having the ones I got to make was way better than all the other tourist shops out there. If you enjoy baking or decorating it’s a great workshop and I 100% recommend it.

JanetNadine_L, Aug 2026

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.

Lunch with Fusina

Fusina provided the most wonderful lunch experience. Her canal apartment was clean and beautiful and the view unmatched. She started us off with cheese and wine. She even made us an apple tart from her grandmother‘s recipe. Then we made Dutch pancakes. One savory one sweet. Beyond delicious! we had incredible conversation and she has a great sense of humor.She even gave us a gift to take away. Truly one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam. If she doesn’t put a smile on your face, nothing will!!!
