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.

Make time for this! - This was a great experience and the host Dedrick (spelling) was wonderful. Would absolutely go back and do it again! It does take 1 1/2 to 2 hours so be sure you have time.

Great Experience in Amsterdam. - Our wine tasting with Diederick (Dee) was fantastic. We had never experienced Dutch wines before and Dee chose great selections as an introduction. He also customized the tasting to our tastes as we went to make it a really great experience. The tasting room is also a Dutch wine shop and you can stop in to pick up bottles for your next event. Even if you do not have time for the tasting, I recommend stopping by to talk with Dee and grab a bottle. We bought a bottle of his Oranje Blanje and it is excellent. Even my wife likes it and the label is an aroma wax that you can scratch to get the smell of the wine. Quite unique and a great Gift. Only negative I can think of is they do not currently ship wine to the US. ( I guess the Dutch drink all the wine they produce. :) )

Dutch wines - who knew?! Fabulous experience….. - Do it folks. A hidden gem. Interesting wines made even better by an outstanding host. A very relaxed way to spend a few hours in the city, central but away from the hustle and bustle. Our wines were paired with an artisan charcuterie board - all delicious. This isn’t a big corporate vanilla experience- this is warm, personal, educational and fun. D was a brilliant host. Go on, you know it makes sense…..

Great Evening Activity - This was a wonderful experience which I would highly recommend to everyone in the area. I went in knowing very little about wine tasting so don't worry if this is new for you. Appreciated that host suggested I arrive with the earlier group to have a more social experience being that I was travelling solo on this trip.
