After meeting your guide in the center of town, stroll around the city to learn about the Netherlands’ gastronomic heritage. As a country wedged between nations with more distinctive culinary traditions, the Netherlands’ cuisine is less well defined – taking influences from its European neighbors. Hear of the Dutch love for hot, salty French fries – a specialty from its Belgian neighbor – and after trying some for yourself in a café, sample a dish of fresh herring – a fish favored by the Scandinavian nations.
Continue walking through the city streets, passing alongside picturesque canals and over pretty bridges, before venturing inside one of Amsterdam’s top cheese shops and sample some of its pungent artisan cheeses. Learn about the thriving Dutch spice trade during the 16th century; the Netherlands was a major player in the East Indies Spice trade.
Visit a 17th-century distillery next, and discover the history of the Dutch brewing industry while sipping on a house spirit (or other traditional drink). Hear trivia and little-known facts about the industry, and learn how the Germans and Americans have influenced the country’s brews over the ages.
Your tour finishes at the distillery, and your guide will happily give you tips for other local eateries to try out before leaving.
