Promenade exclusive au fromage et découverte du vin néerlandais
Description
Ce n'est pas JUSTE une visite à pied ou JUSTE une dégustation de fromage et de vin. Votre Guide Michael, "l'amateur de fromage", a 20 ans d'expérience dans la gestion de sa propre fromagerie en Suisse et à Londres, il passe maintenant la plupart de son temps à parler de fromage, y compris en emmenant les invités dans ces promenades uniques. Lors de ses visites, vous visiterez 2 fromageries et apprendrez à repérer les meilleurs fromages et à faire un plateau de fromage parfait. Il achètera des fromages pour sa dégustation et pourra aussi vous aider à choisir les fromages à emporter chez vous. La dégustation a lieu dans un magasin de vin unique - il ne stocke que du Vin Néerlandais ! Michael servira ensuite les fromages et expliquera pourquoi ils ont tous un aspect, une odeur et un goût différents. Vous apprendrez également comment les fromages sont fabriqués et leur histoire. Il a aussi de nombreuses anecdotes intéressantes à partager sur Amsterdam et son monde du fromage ! Cette visite est le jeu et le ven, d'autres visites (y compris avec de la bière et des promenades avec des croisières de luxe sur le canal) sont d'autres jours ainsi que des déjeuners au fromage du moulin à vent. Contactez Michael pour plus de détails.

We met Michael for a Cheese Discovery Walking tour on a Saturday morning, which meant we were able to experience the cheese market and chat with the suppliers. The aim was to build the perfect cheese board and Michael's passion and expertise meant we got to taste some awesome cheeses. These were paired with some Dutch wines at a local speakeasy style bar. Michael tells some great stories and has led an incredible life, which he is planning to pull together into a book. This was easily the highlight of our time in Amsterdam.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed Michael’s “Exclusive Cheese Walk & Dutch Wine Discovery” tour on Friday. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. He caters the tour to the interests, tastes, and blue cheese-tolerance level of the group to provide a truly memorable experience. The tour combined many of our favorite activities into one: strolling through charming neighborhoods, learning new things, and, of course, eating excellent cheese. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys these things, as well. He has additional tours available on his website. I look forward to reading his book, as his stories were fascinating.
This tour was recommended to me by a friend and I was at first a bit skeptical. Oh my goodness, this was a fantastic tour. I can not recommend it highly enough. You will learn so much about cheese and how what you drink with it brings out the various flavors. Additionally you start to learn you way around Amsterdam. You also hear some cool stories about individuals that he has interacted with to this point in his career. If you love (or even just like) cheese do yourself a favor and spend 3 hours doing this awesome tour.
When passion, knowledge, and joy of life converge, you know you are in for a special day. We met up with Michael and went on our cheese tasting odyssey. So many true artisanal cheese shops, that are not your “tourist trap” offerings and an informational walking tour of the entire center city of Amsterdam. We ended up purchasing over 100 euros of cheese to take safely home. We would have never tasted, nor selected these varieties without the educational guidance of Michael. After the walk we settled into a 300 year old tavern (the Wildman) to enjoy a curated cheese board and pair the 6 selections Michael chose for us with beers. I cannot recommend this tour and this true patron of Dutch artisanal products.
A great experience Mike tells it with so much passion you stick to his lips. knows an incredible amount about cheese and also the city it is quite a journey of discovery. Highly recommended we look back with great pleasure . we definitely want to book the other tour as well.
We had the best experience on a private tour that Michael, the Cheese Lover created for us. We visited cheese shops, stopped for a basque cheesecake, licorice and chocolate at an adorable dutch candy shop and ended at a brewery with organic beers and sodas. Once settled Michael created the perfect cheese plate with a mix of soft and hard cheeses that paired nicely with the drinks. As we walked through the city Michael shared stories, pointed out things to see in Amsterdam and recommended some great restaurants. His passion for cheese was apparent and he made the whole experience extremely enjoyable. Highly recommend contacting Michael when visiting Amsterdam!
We a very enjoyable time with Michael 2. Very informative and delicious. Thought the wine part would be more of a tasting but my husband oved the white wine. The Design & Wijn venue was special. Would recommend.
This was a great, very well organized tour led by a superb guide (Michael). Michael's knowledge re cheese is surpassed only by his love of the subject and his adopted country. After visiting two cheese shops, we went to a pub for a cheese tasting (soft cow, goat, smelly cow, hard cow, and blue) paired with several beers. In addition to great stories re past experiences as a cheese monger, Michael provided us with suggestions re cheese selection, pairings, and preparation. Such a fun afternoon, and easily a highlight of our visit to this wonderful city. Communication was excellent during booking and prior to the tour. His multiple 5-Star reviews are well-earned. 100% recommend.
We enjoyed this experience so much. We had a group of 10 people and we thought it was our favorite activity in Amsterdam. Michael was very knowledgeable and we learned all about something old, something new, something stinky and something blue!
Great day exploring with “The Cheese Lover” at Noordermarkt. Delicious cheese and a lovely tour including the wine shop. Michael Carlton & Stefan were terrific hosts!
