Wine pairing
For our themed dinners, we offer guests the option to book a selection of wines that complement the courses, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. We do not serve alcohol to underage patrons.

Good to know
Having dinner at Over-Amstel Boerderij is an experience in itself. You and your group will travel to the farm by boat. The evening starts at 6:00 PM, when the boat departs from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. Upon arrival (approx. 20 minutes later), there will be a warm welcome with a drink. If you are arriving independently by bike or on foot, please plan to be there by 6:20 PM.

During our dinners, we tell you more about what we do on the farm and what we want to achieve here. The evening ends around 9:30 PM. The boat will bring you back to Ouderkerk, where you will arrive around 10:00 PM.
