ABOUT OUR WINE TASTINGS

What makes your wine tastings special?
At Cork & Compass, we take wine tastings in Amsterdam to the next level by combining the art of wine and food pairing. Each tasting features a carefully curated selection of wines, perfectly matched with gourmet bites—many of which we craft ourselves using seasonal ingredients. Every sip and every bite are designed to enhance your experience, ensuring that wine and food are always in perfect harmony.

It’s a deep dive into the magic of flavors! You won’t just learn about wine—you’ll discover how different wines complement a variety of dishes, elevating both elements to a whole new level. It’s an experience that will awaken your taste buds and broaden your wine knowledge in the most delicious way possible.


What kind of occasions are your tastings perfect for?
Whether it’s an intimate gathering with friends, a team-building event, a birthday celebration, or just an excuse to indulge in amazing wines, our tastings are tailored for any occasion that calls for great wine, great food, and an even greater time!
