This isn’t just about drinking — every glass has a story.

Discover jenever, often called the father of gin, and hear how this historic Dutch spirit developed from its early medicinal roots into one of the country’s most famous drinks. From centuries-old spirits to sweeter modern favourites, you’ll discover how Dutch drinking traditions have evolved over the years.

You’ll taste distinctive Dutch favourites such as stroopwafel liqueur and advocaat, alongside other drinks that have become part of drinking culture in the Netherlands.

And the food isn’t just an afterthought. Some of the Dutch snacks are part of the tasting itself, carefully matched with the drinks or connected to their story. Think stroopwafels, bitterballen and Dutch drop (liquorice) — classic flavours that add another very Dutch twist to the experience.

As you sip and snack, your host will take you through the history behind each drink: where it came from, how it became popular, how Dutch people traditionally enjoy it and some of the unusual stories surrounding it.

Everything takes place indoors in a cosy, seated setting in central Amsterdam. There’s no walking between bars, no pub crawl and no need to worry about the Dutch weather. Just take your seat, raise your glass and enjoy.

You don’t need to be a spirits expert either. A Sip of Holland is designed to be social, relaxed and entertaining — whether you love trying new drinks or simply want to experience a different side of Dutch culture.
