Description
Your first stop brings you to an iconic windmill, where you have the opportunity to step inside and discover the inner workings of these majestic structures that have played a vital role in Dutch history for centuries. From grinding grain to pumping water, you'll learn how these windmills have shaped the landscape and livelihoods of the Dutch people.
Next, you'll visit a traditional cheese farm nestled in the heart of the countryside. Here, you'll witness the art of cheese-making firsthand, as skilled artisans demonstrate the age-old techniques passed down through generations. Sample an array of exquisite cheeses, from creamy Gouda to tangy Edam, and learn how each variety reflects the unique terroir of the region.
No visit to the Netherlands would be complete without slipping into a pair of authentic wooden clogs. At a local workshop, you'll watch as master craftsmen carve and shape these iconic Dutch shoes, transforming rough blocks of wood into functional works of art. Then, it's your turn to try them on for size and experience the time-honored tradition of clog-walking for yourself.
