Great experience from host Martin. Got to learn about the founder and variety of cheeses. Worth trying.
We had a wonderful time at Henri Willig. The cheese and wine were great and Micah did an awesome job providing the info and answering questions. So many options of cheese.
An excellent hour’s experience! Cheese tasting with Maria. She explained everything about the history of Henri Willig’s cheese farm, the family and importantly the Gouda cheese. Then an informative video and then…wine and cheese! Each sample was explained and savoured 😋 There was loads of cheese! We didn’t need lunch! A really lovely treat- THANK YOU!
Martin was awesome! The cheeses were absolutely worth the stop. Hard to pick a favorite, having many shipped home, but the organic jersey with mustard and the extra old with date balsamic were amazing!
If you like cheese, and an entertaining movie about the history of this great historic company, then this is the place for you! My family had a blast! The cheese was excellent and the dips were amazing! They had wine (specific ones for different cheeses). They also had nonalcoholic options, which was wonderful for our daughter. There were seven people with us for the cheese tasting, which made the atmosphere very light and cozy. Our host was funny, kind, informative and very entertaining. We loved the cheese so much, that we decided to get some. If you do the tasting then you 20% off on the cheese in the store so it’s just an added bonus to doing the tasting. They had a wide variety of cheese in the store and most of them are vegetarian, except one. I definitely recommend coming, as it is a great place to have some cheese!
Nice variety of cheeses and beer or wine pairings staged on the upper floor of a premium cheese shop. Fun and informative.
Interesting commentary and good selection of cheeses and drinks.
Very nice explanation of cheese making. Nice cheeses to taste!

Great experience!Quinten was a great host and cheeses were delicious
Katie did not send my tickets to my email or phone but the cheese tasting honored my tickets based on the debit to my bank account. The cheese tasting staff and experience was great. Could have been a little slower, but no complaints at all.
I highly recommend this tasting for all cheese lovers! Very interesting and the cheese was delicious!
Excellent explanations and the guide was very Nice as well

Pascal did an amazing job explaining history, evolution and quality. Pascal is generous in hospitality!!
This cheese tasting experience far exceeded our expectations! We had an amazing time trying the different cheeses and learning about the history of how they make the cheese. I now have a newfound appreciation for cheese because of this experience! I would highly recommend!
We had a lovely time at the cheese tasting experience. They provided a good quantity of cheese and it also came with some complimentary accompaniments and drinks. The staff were lovely and were great at explaining the history and different cheeses. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience.
Enjoyed the cheese tasting with Pasqual. He gave a nice introduction to the company and cheese making process, and the cheeses and spreads we tasted were delicious. With wine/beer, it was a nice happy hour treat!
This experience was fantastic. Maria brought us through the whole experience and was a true delight. Highly recommend this experience.
The experience was amazing, we could taste different kinds of cheese, got to know the history of the Family and how they grow their business. We enjoyed it so much mostly because Quentin was a fab host and made the most of our time!
If you are in Amsterdam, you cannot miss this!! This was a fantasting tasting , definitely the greatest decision. Everyone from the staff was super friendly. We did the tasting with Quentin (sorry if I’m spelling it wrong), he did an amazing job. Super funny and engaging with the entire group. The cheese tasting itself was so good. Once we finished, we got a discount on the shop and he was also super kind and gave great recommendations on the city. Ado was also super kind and gave us some more Other things to try. Thanks a lot for an amazing experience Juan
Pascal did a great job giving us a explanation of the product and making us feel welcome. It was a fun time to learn about the process and eat some great cheese.
Quentin, our guide was very informative. The tour was very interesting and we learnt a lot. The cheese, dips and drinks were great. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing place, and the guide is só Nice, she's tell us about the history, she's só kind.
Terrific experience. Alexa our hostess was lovely and very informative. The different cheeses were fantastic and accompanied by dips and drinks. Definitely recommend.
Very fun time. We learned some interesting things and really enjoyed our host, Otto. I would recommend this.
Our kind and fun host, Sophie, for our cheese tasting made our experience even better. Loved learning about this family
A truly 5-star experience. The cheese tasting was simply outstanding: a diverse, high-quality selection, beautifully presented. Each cheese had its own story and unique character, making the experience not only delicious but also culturally enriching. A special thanks to Alexa, who made the visit even more memorable. Her explanation was clear, engaging, and full of insightful details that really made a difference. You can feel her passion and knowledge, which turns the tasting into a genuine journey through the world of cheese. Without a doubt, an excellent place to enjoy, learn, and come back to. Highly recommended.
Guide was great- it was informative- not sure you ate any more cheese than you could have in the store samples themselves.
Suzanne is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed the experience very much! You also get a 10% discount in the store.
Great experience, good number of cheeses to try and a couple of drinks. Some crackers and dips to go with the cheese.
Very nice. A good guide, good cheese, some very nice port wine (other options as well but that port was excellent with the cheese). What's not to like there?
This was a nice introduction to the different cheeses and wine pairings in Amsterdam. Our instructor (sorry forgot his name) was good and enjoyed this alot.
Great tasting with 2 glasses of wine/beer. The cheeses were delicious, got to try many varieties in the tasting and in the store itself, available for purchase after!
Suzanne took us through a fun 1 hour cheese and paired beverage (wine/Beer etc.) tasting. Included in the presentation was some history and cheese making insights from the Henry Willis farm. We were all amazed at the volume of cheese that was offered to us, and the wine smacked. This experience is a must do on your trip to Amsterdam. Thank you Suzanne!!!!
A great way to sample some Dutch Cheese and Beer - very entertaining afternoon, that leaves wanting more (cheese)
Amazing experience! In addition to the cheeses being delicious, our guide gave us so much good information about the history of the company and how they make all the cheese. Love that I could purchase and ship back to the US for a very reasonable fixed rate fee!
We had such fun with our guide, Schoos (?). He taught us everything about the family cheese business and what makes the different varieties. We enjoyed wine and beer and the company of five fellow travelers. All in all, an informative and enjoyable hour. Of course, we purchased cheeses at a discount afterwards!
It was informative and fun. Yummy cheese. It was difficult to view the video due to the light behind the screen.
This was an excellent visit, the cheeses were very different but thoroughly enjoyable. The host was very informative and with a dry wit that enhanced the afternoon. I would not hesitate on going back if we visit Amsterdam again.
Great sit down tasting of cheeses. I don’t know Gouda could be made from a variety of milks! Also tasted some beer made with cheese whey - very tasty. Cute little shop and easy to take cheese back with you in your bag!!
Throughly enjoyed the experience the lady was very knowledgeable explains things very well Was Well worth the money Tasting the cheeses and trying their beer wa good Would definitely recommend
Great value experience in Amsterdam. Generous portions of delicious cheese and 2 glasses of wine. The talk was both informative and entertaining. Highly recommended
45 minutes of description of the cheese maker family and their various roles on the board of the cheese company, followed by 10 minutes of cheese tasting. Cheese was OK.
Great tasting and our tour guide was the grandson of the founder. The venue was super clean and easy to find.
What an amazing experience! Serge is so lovely and so knowledgeable and treated us like royalty! The best cheese I have ever tasted 😋
This was a very great experience. The company was great and the cheese was amazing! I enjoyed the video he showed us about his family farm.
Wow great experience. The host was funny and knowledgeable. Great cheese, wine and beer variety. Highly recommend.
