About this cruise
The Cheese & Wine Cruise is a 75-minute canal cruise with a Dutch cheese tasting and paired wines. Departure is from Damrak Pier 4, shared with the Pizza Cruise. {VERIFY: exact departure time — typically early evening}.
A live English guide takes you through a Dutch cheese selection paired with wines while you cruise the canal ring. {VERIFY: exact number of cheeses and wines included per ticket}.
The cheese board also features accompaniments like fig compote, raw honey, mustard, and artisan crackers, ensuring every bite is a complete flavor experience. Vegetarian guests are fully catered for, and non-alcoholic wine alternatives are available on request.
Departing from Damrak, the cruise follows the classic canal ring route, passing the Anne Frank House, the Westerkerk, and the elegant Herengracht — but the focus here is firmly on flavor. The guide’s entertaining stories about Dutch cheese culture, from medieval market towns to modern farmhouse producers, add depth to every tasting.
The Cheese & Wine Cruise is one of Amsterdam’s most highly rated food experiences. It attracts couples on date nights, foodies seeking authentic Dutch flavors, and anyone who believes the best way to experience a city is through its food and drink.
Group bookings are available with the option of adding extra cheese and wine at a discounted rate.
