Dutch Royal Flower Auction and Cheese Making Experience

Dutch Royal Flower Auction and Cheese Making Experience

The first stop is the Dutch Royal Flower Auction in Aalsmeer. Although nowadays a lot of trading is done online, you still see traders bidding against the auction clock. Experience the hustle & bustle of the floor of the flower auction hall with a live-guided tour in English from a special gallery and learn about the flower industry. After the famous auction it is time for coffee (or tea) and traditional Dutch apple pie. No better place to do this than at Clara Maria, a beautiful, authentic cheese farm located in the polders.
In the former stables delicious Gouda cheese and traditional clogs are still made using traditional methods. Watch a personal demonstration on how farmhouse cheese is traditionally made and taste the different flavors. Then it’s time to get your hands dirty and make your own cheese.
This private tour can be tailored to your wishes. See what's outside the city and go off the beaten tracks. Perfect as shore-excursion or as long lay-over at Schiphol Airport!
