Savor Dutch wines in a hidden tasting room in Amsterdam

When you think of the Netherlands, you may think of beer or jenever, but Dutch wines are hidden gems. Join a certified vinologist in Design & Wijn’s speakeasy tasting room for a tasting of these often overlooked wines, which are full of quality and character. • When you arrive, we’ll greet you with a glass of sparkling Dutch wine to set the mood. • As we progress from crisp whites to bold reds, we’ll serve a selection of local cheese and charcuterie that complement the wines. • Along the way, I’ll share more stories about winemaking in the Netherlands, and the creativity of Dutch winemakers today. Whether you’re a wine lover or simply looking for something distinctive to do, this experience is all about relaxing and having fun. We’ll quiz you on what you’ve learned—and the winner of the group will take home a small bottle of Dutch sparkling wine.

The history of Amsterdam & Netherlands through a beer glass

Join me, a beer sommelier, for an immersive 3.5-hour dive into Dutch beer culture and history with a pub crawl through Amsterdam’s Old Town to uncover how beer shaped Dutch history—from medieval times to the modern craft beer revolution. • We will meet in Dam Square right in front of The Royal Palace and then take a 5 minute walk to our first venue. • Our first stop will be De Pilsener Club, a cozy traditional bar that opened in 1893. Sip a classic beer and jenever—a juniper-flavored liquor popular in the Netherlands—as I explain beer’s impact on trade from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. • Next, head to the tasting room at In De Wildeman to enjoy a carefully chosen beer from the selection of 18 on tap and 250-plus in bottles. I’ll discuss the effects of the Industrial Revolution on commercial brewing. • Wrap up with a locally brewed craft beer at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, which has more than 50 Dutch beers on tap and more than 100 types in bottles. As we reflect on how beer styles have evolved for modern palates, you’ll leave with suggestions for more places to drink good beer in Amsterdam.
