Cooking Experience:

Choose a starting time, either: Not offered or 6:00pm.

Note:

There are two large but very friendly dogs on the farm property that roam outdoors. If you prefer that the dogs stay outdoors, let Jaatje know so the dogs can be kept out of the house. Hanneke is a great friend of the couple who might join when guests book a wine pairing with their food experience.
