Dutch Winetasting - Amsterdam City Centre

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!

Response from the operator: What a lovely review! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to us to hear that you enjoyed it so much. Kind regards, Michiel and the Design & Wijn Team

Brilliant afternoon

Diederik was our host this evening in the best quaint wine shop. The wine tasting room is in a hidden area and was very cool. He had so much knowledge and was truly passionate about his craft. We had a great afternoon. There was only 4 of us over all, it was very personal and relaxed. The tasting went on for a couple hours and it was a very lovely afternoon out of the snow. Wines were great, would recommend.

Response from the operator: Dear Kerry_M, Thank you so much for this nice and honest review. That is how we want to have it. Good to read that you have experienced it in this way. Hopefully until next time! Kind regards, Diederik Walhof

A Disappointing Wine Tasting — Not Worth the Hype

I had very high expectations for the Dutch Winetasting Amsterdam City Centre, but unfortunately it was a major letdown. The wines offered were mediocre — nothing stood out in flavor, and some were flat and uninspiring. The venue was cramped and uncomfortable, with too many people squeezed in. The host seemed disinterested and gave minimal background on the wines; I felt like I was on autopilot rather than being guided through a proper tasting. Given the price and the hype, this experience was far below what I anticipated. I left feeling disappointed and would not recommend this to fellow wine enthusiasts visiting Amsterdam.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to read that this was your experience of our wine tasting. To be honest, we do not recognize ourselves in this at all. As the owner, I personally give the winetastings with pleasure and make sure it is never too crowded or uncomfortable. We are very selective with the wines we serve. Flat or uninspiring wines absolutely never make it through our selection. We always prefer when guests share their feedback directly with us, so that we can clarify or adjust things immediately. Of course, leaving an online review is also an option, but we would much rather end on a cheerful note 🍷. After each tasting, we ask our guests about their experience, and we are certain that a one-star impression would definitely have been mentioned. If you really did visit us (which we strongly doubt), you are, of course, very welcome to come by again and experience it anew.

5 Star Experience

A truly amazing experience from start to finish! Walking through the beautiful shop through the secret door to the wine tasting room. The wines were amazing and paired with local cheese and breads. Would go back to do it again.

Response from the operator: Dear 680jodieh, Thank you very much for sharing your personal experience with us. So good to read that you liked the whole Dutch wine experience with us. Looking forward welcoming you again in the future. Kind regards, Diederik
