Wines, Cheeses & Canals: A Private Amsterdam Wine and Cheese Tour

The wine and cheese tour is €460 for one or two guests, then €70 for each extra guest up to six (four guests pay €600) and €95 for each guest from the seventh (ten guests pay €1,120). That includes 4+ wine and cheese tastings, a charcuterie board and an English-speaking local guide. One guide walks with up to 12 guests. Planning for 13 or more? See team outings and celebrations.

Yes, the wine and cheese tour is enough food for a meal. For most guests, the wine, cheese and charcuterie add up to a relaxed lunch or early dinner, so you won't need to plan another meal right after.

The wine and cheese tour includes 4+ pairings with generous pours at each stop. There's enough wine to feel it, though the pace and walking between stops keep things comfortable rather than overwhelming.

The wine and cheese tour is designed for adults (18+) because of the wine pairings. We can adapt it for families or non-drinkers on request, please let us know when booking.

On request, yes. Tell us in the special requests when you book and we adapt the route to make it wheelchair friendly; a foldable wheelchair makes it easier. Strollers work the same way.

Yes, the wine and cheese tour accommodates vegetarian and gluten-light diets. Let us know in advance and we'll prepare suitable cheeses, breads and spreads. Most dietary preferences can be accommodated with notice.

We can add a ferry ride and wine tasting at Chateau Amsterdam at the end of this tour. It's an urban winery across the IJ. We can build a custom finish for your group there.

The tour runs rain or shine, this is Amsterdam after all. Most tastings are indoors, some are outdoors, and your guide adjusts the walking between them when it pours. Bring a rain jacket and you will be fine.

Cancel up to 24 hours before the wine and cheese tour starts and you get a full refund. For bookings above €1,000, such as a large company group, the free cancellation window is 48 hours. Want another date or time? Email or WhatsApp us and we move the booking if a guide is free.

Tipping is not expected on the private wine and cheese tour, or anywhere in the Netherlands: service is included by law and your guide is paid properly. If they made your day, a tip is welcome and always optional, and a review on Google or Tripadvisor does even more for them.

English is standard on the private wine and cheese tour. Another language is possible on request, depending on guide availability, so write the language in the special requests when you book.

The wine and cheese tour ends at a historic canalside cafe with a charcuterie board and a final glass, after about 1.5 km / 0.9 miles on foot from Gastrovino, Spuistraat 330. You finish in the old centre, within walking distance of where you started.

A walking pickup from a central Amsterdam hotel is possible on request for the private wine and cheese tour. Otherwise we meet at Gastrovino, Spuistraat 330, about an 8 minute walk from Dam Square and 5 minutes from Rokin metro.

No. The 4+ wine and cheese pairings and the charcuterie board are included in the price and paid in advance, so there is nothing to pay at any stop. A tip for your guide is optional, cash or PayPal.

Comfortable shoes: the wine and cheese tour is a short 1.5 km / 0.9 miles walk that starts below ground in a canal-house wine cellar and moves between a few tasting rooms. Bring a light rain jacket for the stretches outside.
