Tired of food tours with large groups, tourist tastings, and rushed stops? Ours is different. With a maximum of 10 guests (often just 6–8), our tours are small, personal, and thoughtfully paced. You’ll be mostly seated at quality, local spots — with a few outdoor tastings chosen for their charm, not convenience. Some stops even offer private tasting rooms for a more intimate experience. Special drinks like craft beer, jenever, or natural wines are included where they fit the story — never an extra charge or off-limits.
