Corporate Cheese Tastings in Amsterdam

A Private Cheese Tasting Your Team Will Talk About For Years To Come

Looking for a corporate cheese tasting in Amsterdam that goes beyond the souvenir-shop experience? We host private, high-end tastings built around exceptional artisan and farmhouse cheeses. There’s always at least five different types of cheese, paired with carefully chosen wines or local beers, with alcohol-free options available. Every tasting session is hosted by our own team of cheese specialists, trained by one of the most experienced cheesemongers in the world.

There are no queues, no fixed time slots and no repetitive tourist script. Just your group, a beautifully set table,  and ninety minutes of stories, tasting and conversation that bring colleagues and clients together naturally. Perfect for team building, client entertainment, board dinners, conference evening programmes and incentive trips.

Two Ways to Host Your Tasting

In our tasting room, up to 16 guests

Our own historic tasting room is in a 17th-century warehouse, in the heart of Amsterdam, and seats up to 16 guests. It is an intimate, private setting that works beautifully for leadership teams, client dinners and smaller company groups. You arrive, the table is set, and everything is taken care of.

At your location, for groups of any size

Hosting a larger group, a conference or an offsite? We bring the full tasting to you: your office, hotel, meeting venue, or event location, which can be anywhere in Amsterdam and beyond. The same specialist hosts, the same premium cheeses and pairings, scaled to your group. We regularly host tastings for corporate venues and partners across the Netherlands.

What Makes This Tasting Different

  • Hosts trained by a world-class cheesemonger. Our tasting team is trained by one of the most experienced cheesemongers in the world. No over-rehearsed scripts, just real knowledge and the stories behind every cheese on the table.
  • Cheeses you will not find in the tourist shops. There will be at least five artisan and farmhouse cheeses, selected for the season and for your group, far beyond the standard supermarket Gouda.
  • Pairings that elevate the tasting. We match Dutch wines and craft beers to each cheese, with alcohol-free options of the same quality.
  • Completely private and tailored. The session is for your group only. We adjust the tasting, the pace and the tone to your occasion, from relaxed team night to a refined client dinner.
  • One trusted contact, everything handled. You brief us once, and we arrange the room, the host, the timings and every detail on the day.

Make It Part of a Bigger Programme

A tasting is a superb evening on its own, and an even better centrepiece. Combine it with a private canal cruise, a guided walk through the old city, dinner afterwards, or build it into a full corporate programme across the Netherlands. As a full-service tour operator, we arrange the entire day or trip around it, so you deal with one team from start to finish.

Trusted by International Companies

We organise corporate experiences for companies of every size, from leadership teams of six to conference groups of two hundred. We work with several corporate partners, venues and event locations across Amsterdam and the Netherlands, and their guests keep coming back for the cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Corporate Cheese Tastings

How many people can join a corporate cheese tasting?

Our own tasting room in central Amsterdam hosts up to 16 guests. For larger groups we bring the tasting to your venue, hotel or office; we regularly host private cheese tastings for groups of 20 to 200.

Can you host the tasting at our office or event venue?

Yes. On-location tastings are one of our most popular corporate formats. We bring the cheeses, pairings, tableware and specialist host to you, anywhere in Amsterdam and across the Netherlands.

Is a cheese tasting suitable as a team building activity?

Very much so. A shared table is a natural icebreaker: guests compare, discuss and discover together, guided by the host. No forced interactions, just conversation that flows on its own.

What is served during the tasting?

A curated selection of at least five artisan and farmhouse cheeses, paired with wines or Dutch craft beers, plus accompaniments. Every tasting is composed for the season and for your group.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Vegetarian guests are no problem at all, and pregnancy-safe, lactose-sensitive and alcohol-free options are available too. Just let us know when booking.

How long does a corporate tasting take?

Around 90 minutes as a standalone tasting. We can shorten it as a conference break or extend it into a full evening with dinner or a private canal cruise.

Do you work with international groups?

Constantly. Tastings are hosted in English as standard, and we work with international companies, conference organisers and corporate venues throughout the year.
