Really enjoyed this activity, Rick hosted the pairings and shared his knowledge in a very easy manner. Would recommend to everyone.
Great experience! Our guide – presenter was extremely knowledgeable! We enjoyed it and actually learned as well! Would highly recommend!
Our Old Amsterdam Cheese tasting guide, Rick, was wonderful, entertaining, and informative. His pairing of wine with each cheese was superb. We agree “tasting is believing.” And we loved the distinct flavor of Old Amsterdam cheese. We couldn’t purchase this grand cheese at the shop as it requires refrigeration after at least 10 days and we will be traveling past this time. We will be looking for Old Amsterdam cheese when we return home.
Amazing experience, the guide was fab, as the guy in the shop
Aris was brilliant. A relaxed fun atmosphere we learnt so much about cheese whilst having fun
We learned a lot about cheese making and pairing it with wine. We thoroughly enjoyed the tastings, and picked up a lot of gifts to bring home.
We were just passing when one of the cheese (& wine) tastings was about to start, so we got some tickets, and weren't disappointed. It was an interesting talk, with some very tasty cheeses, paired with some nice wines, happy to recommend
We had an absolutely fantastic cheese and wine tasting experience at Old Amsterdam! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights about the cheeses, wines, and their history—it really elevated the whole experience. What impressed us even more was the flexibility and kindness of the team. Due to a delayed flight, we unfortunately couldn’t make our original booking, but they kindly allowed us to reschedule for the next day without any hassle. That level of customer service is truly exceptional.
Excellent, fun and educational session. Learned a lot about cheese and theaccompanying beverages were excellent. Our host was engaging and knowledgeable a terrific experience
The cheese and wine tasting along with history lesson would’ve been great, however, Rick, the guide, was extremely rude to me multiple times. I was seemingly singled out and he made openly rude remarks to me, and only me, in front of the others. I was extremely uncomfortable and the whole experience was then awkward. An experience i paid for nonetheless.
I am so sorry to hear you had a negative experience. This is naturally never the intention. Would you be willing to provide us with your booking details and a more detailed description of your experience via tasting@oldamsterdamcheesestore.com so we can investigate this matter further? and hopefully prevent negative experiences in the future.
