Wine Tasting - Craft Wine

Private tasting | WTN BOOKLET support

Private wine tasting

Private wine tastings for groups from 4 to 12 persons.
The concept is rather simple.
You come over to our shop or you give us a call.
Together we choose a theme and set the date.
We have several tempting topics ready, but we are also open for any special requests.

Focus in our shop is definitely on natural wine, uncharted wine regions and indigenous grape varieties, but classic Bourgogne or Veneto we also do with pleasure.
On request a rich and well garnished cheese platter or some other comforting bites will be served with the different wines.

The tasting takes place preferably on Wednesday or Thursday evening from 19.30 until 22:00+

For those interested in taking a deep dive, we offer a crash course on natural wines, spread over three evening gatherings. We will highlight the differences between natural and “conventional” wines, taste various wines, and delve into some of the essential principles of natural winemaking.

If there is interest, we would also like to explain the basics of wine ratings and help you create your own wine notes library.

Our group of 9 friends had a wonderful private tasting with Linda and Goran. Tasty wines, friendly and informative hosta and good food to go with. We can deffinitely recommend a visit!

Linda offered an amazing wine ? tasting experience to my work team. Not only the Serbian wines were surprising and unique, we received a super attentive service, hospitality and cozy atmosphere.

Wat een leuke ontdekking deze nieuwe wijnwinkel in de Pijp! Veel interessante wijnen waarvan ik er meerdere mocht proeven. En een zeer betrokken eigenaar die me van alles en nog wat vertelde over zijn wijnen. We komen snel terug!

Last night I took my team to Craft for a wine tasting with food, as our summer outing together. We all LOVED it! Linda's delicious food was so thoughtfully made and cooked with care, and most importantly, super tasty! Goran shared the wines, with great stories about so many of the makers they stock. They were unusual, and delicious, nice surprises! It's really clear that they love what they do and they're very knowledgable. It was a fantastic evening and I will look forward to doing it again. I took home three bottles too so can continue enjoying from home! Thank you very much Linda and Goran, from Rosie and all at D8.

I came here today with a friend and had such a great experience. They were doing a wine tasting (little Easter celebration) and everything was just so thoughtfully put together, from the wine tasting itself to the little snacks they prepared

The owners are genuinely such lovely people and you can really tell that they know their stuff - they shared so much interesting information about the wines and the store in general

Also the wine selection is absolutely amazing. Every single wine we tried was great and they have such a wide variety that there’s really something for everyone. I’ve actually bought wine here before and I’m definitely coming back again☺️

Very friendly couple who own the store that are extremely accommodating. It is the only wine store I go to in Amsterdam. Perhaps one of the best natural wine shops I have ever been to.

Absolutely fantastic wine shop. The owners are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and it truly shows in the way they engage with customers. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with genuine warmth and offered expert guidance tailored to your taste and budget.

Their selection is thoughtfully curated, offering a wide range of excellent wines at very reasonable prices. What really sets this place apart is the personal touch — the owners take the time to share insights, stories, and recommendations that make every visit a learning experience.

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just looking for the perfect bottle for dinner, this shop is a real deal.

Thanks Linda and Goran

As restaurant owners who are deeply committed to quality ingredients, sustainable practices, and, most importantly, the perfect balance of flavor in our food and beverage pairings, finding the right wine partner is no small task. Linda and Goren at Craft Wine have truly knocked it out of the park, sourcing an exceptional selection of low-intervention European wines. It’s incredibly rare—if not unheard of—for us to love every bottle a purveyor presents, yet with Craft Wine, that’s exactly what happened. Their dedication to thoughtful curation and outstanding quality has given us complete confidence in building a long-term relationship. We’re thrilled to be pouring their wines and can’t wait to share them with our guests.

We had the most wonderful evening with Goran and Linda! We had a private wine tasting with amazing food! One of our best evenings ever in Amsterdam! It was amazing to chat about wine and have a lovely pairing! We also buy wine from them weekly and have found some of the best natural wines we’ve ever had!

Come here frequently because of the nice natural wine selection. We also had an amazing time with a private wine tasting event in the evening for my girlfriend's Birthday! Linda and Goran give it a nice warm and personal feeling, they even made sure there was a Birthday cake, matching food with the wine regions and a self-baked walnut cake with walnuts from Goran's mothers' garden. Highly recommended!

Such a great wine store. More on the pricier side but if you wanna pick up a nice gift or a treat for yourself it’s a great place. They also do wine tastings which seems lovely in the space. The service was super friendly and I will be back for sure.

Amazing experience in a cozy and family owned business in Amsterdam. Our hosts, Linda & Goran made us feel warm and welcome as they described the delicious natural wines we were tasting. The food pairings were also amazing. Highly recommended to do a wine tasting or simply drop by to learn and buy some of their wine assortment. You won't be disappointed 🙂

Last Saturday I participated with two friends in a wine tasting in this beautiful place, Linda & Goran are two people who are super passionate about wine and have great knowledge about it, but this is nothing without mentioning their great human warmth. We had an unforgettable time with them and I also had the opportunity to taste a home made Goullash that reminded me of my holidays in Patagonia Argentina on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi when we used to visit with my family during my childhood.
I recommend if you have the opportunity not to miss this place and meet Linda and Goran. See you soon, we will definitely visit again!

I went Craft Wine in the end of October to find Dutch wine.
The owner lady was very nice and gave me a lot of choices based on what I wanted to buy.(Unfortunately there wans't Dutch wine, but I bought other good wine)
Nice selections especially Japanese Sake!

This store just popped into my neighborhood and I"m so happy it did! The owner (?) was extremely friendly and even gave us a taste of Serbian wine! Love that there were also wines that were in the more inexpensive (5-6 euros) price range. A cute store for all and I'm excited to have wine literally in front of my house!
