Savor Dutch tradition with jenever, stories, and treats

Learn Dutch culinary traditions—from sipping the classic Dutch spirit jenever the old-fashioned way to making a famous Dutch treat—while I share the story of my family’s restaurant. Along the way, you’ll hear the secrets of Dutch hospitality and have some hands-on fun in the kitchen. • We’ll start at Petit Heemelrijck, where I’ll take you through my family’s journey in the restaurant world, show you around our historical space, and give you a deeper understanding of Dutch cuisine and hospitality. • Next, we’ll dive into a jenever tasting using the traditional three-step method from Wynand Fockink (est. 1679). I’ll show you how to drink it like a true local—no shortcuts! • Then, we’ll head to Bakkerij Heemelrijck, where you’ll roll up your sleeves and make wentelteefjes (Dutch-style French toast). Customize your dish with sweet or savory toppings and enjoy the results. • I’ll send you off with a goodie bag filled with local sweets, two jenever glasses, and a discount for Restaurant Heemelrijck and the Wynand Fockink shop. Whether you’re a foodie, a history lover, or just curious about Dutch culture, this experience is designed to give you a real taste of what makes our traditions so special.

The history of Amsterdam & Netherlands through a beer glass

Join me, a beer sommelier, for an immersive 3 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 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.
