Volendam: 2-Hour Clogmaking Workshop and Cheese Tour｜Netherlands

Starting out with a block of wood from the Dutch poplar tree, and learn the steps involved in making clogs. Shape the outside of the shoe the old fashioned way, with a big knife, and carve out the inside of the shoe with a sharp spoon. During the workshop, make a wooden shoe per person. You will also receive a beer opener which can be decorated with the help of engraving tools and colorful paint.
At the end of the workshop, you will receive your self-made clog (how finished it is will depend on your clog-making skills). You will also receive a plain bottle opener to take home, which you can optionally paint during the workshop.


Next, enjoy a guided tour through the cheese factory and learn how to transform milk into a delicious Dutch Gouda cheese. Discover various types of cheeses and slicers used traditionally.

In the shop, marvel at all kinds of souvenirs and taste Dutch biscuits such as stroopwafel, a delicious local fruit wine, and of course all kinds of cheeses.
