Yvonne Krakeel - de Jong
The SDEN1, 2 and 3 courses were a very valuable experience. The content was excellent and well structured, with a clear balance between theory and practice. The teacher conveyed the material at a good pace — smoothly and to the point, without being long-winded. Just the way I like it. The structure of the evening classes was strong: first an intensive piece of theory, followed by wine tasting in a fixed, recognisable way. This structure made it easier to learn how to taste and analyse, and gave me more and more confidence in recognising different wine styles. What I also really appreciated was that there was always room for questions and that the teacher responded to them attentively. This created a pleasant, interactive atmosphere in which you really became involved in the lesson. A big plus was the opportunity to read through the course book before the first lesson. This helped enormously in following the course material during the theory blocks. It was great that this was arranged immediately when I asked for it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to offer this as standard for future students? The wines we tasted were very varied and excellently chosen in relation to the topics covered, which further enhanced the learning process. All in all, this was an informative and enjoyable course, with a teacher who not only has a wealth of knowledge, but also really thinks along with you and creates a pleasant learning environment. I would definitely recommend this course to others.
Willem Weterings
The SDEN1, SDEN2 and SDEN3 courses were a very educational and enjoyable experience. The course content was good and was presented in a clear and structured manner, which made it easy to follow and apply the theory. What stood out in particular was the expertise and enthusiasm of the teacher. Her passion for wine was infectious and made the lessons lively and engaging. The atmosphere in the group also contributed to a pleasant learning environment, with good interaction between the teacher and students. The wines tasted were very varied and gave a good impression of the different styles and regions covered. This made the tasting not only enjoyable, but also closely linked to the course material. In fact, there are no real areas for improvement. Everything ran smoothly and professionally, with a nice balance between learning and enjoyment. I would therefore recommend this course without hesitation to others who want to learn more about wine in an accessible way.
Natascha van de Heiden
The SDEN1, SDEN2 and SDEN3 courses were a fantastic experience! Not only was the content very well structured and organised, but it was also presented with such passion that you couldn't help but get excited. Jacqueline knows better than anyone how to convey her love of wine. Even after a long day at work or when you arrive feeling tired, she manages to transport you into the world of wine. The teacher is very knowledgeable and knows how to convey her knowledge in an accessible and engaging way. The interaction within the group was also excellent – there was plenty of room for questions, discussions and sharing experiences. The wines tasted were very varied and perfectly matched the themes of the lesson. This made the tasting not only educational, but also great fun. As far as I'm concerned, this was the most enjoyable course I've ever taken. The only minor point for improvement was the lighting in the accommodation, but that's a minor detail compared to the great content and atmosphere of the course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to deepen their wine knowledge in a fun and educational way.
Miranda Schouten
The SDEN2 course was very successful and well tailored to its objective: thorough preparation for the exam and broadening your wine knowledge. The content was very well organised and logically structured, making the course material easy to follow. The teacher's expertise was excellent. Not only did she convey the theory clearly, but she also ensured that we were actively involved in tasting and discussing the wines. The interaction with the students was good – there was room for questions and interaction, although it could perhaps have been a little more dynamic. What I really appreciated was the variety of wines we tasted. We sampled a wide range of styles and regions, and were regularly taken out of our comfort zone, which made the learning process even more interesting. The course provided excellent preparation for the exam, and I felt well prepared afterwards. I don't really have any areas for improvement to mention — everything went smoothly and professionally. In short: an informative and well-organised course that I would definitely recommend to others who want to get serious about wine.
Klaas Bos
The SDEN3 course was once again a valuable and educational experience. The content was excellent, well tailored to the level and structured in a way that was logical and easy to follow. The structure was good, although it could have been a little clearer at times — but that did not detract from the quality of the lessons. What stands out most is Jacqueline's passion. It shines through in every course. We have now taken SDEN1, SDEN2 and SDEN3 with her and passed with flying colours — that says it all! Her knowledge, enthusiasm and personal approach really make you want to delve deeper into the world of wine. The interaction within the group was also very enjoyable. There was room for questions, discussion and sharing experiences. The wines tasted were varied and tied in well with the theory covered, which enhanced the learning process. A nice extra was the masterclass on Spain — definitely recommended! It's a pity that Jolanda was unable to attend due to illness, but we will definitely be back for the next masterclass. In short: a very successful course with an enthusiastic teacher who not only prepares you for the exam, but also inspires you for everything to do with wine.
Emiel de Wit
The SDEN2 wine course more than lived up to my expectations. The content was very good and, above all, excellently structured, which made learning clear and enjoyable. Thanks to the combination of clear explanations, supporting PowerPoint presentations and practice questions, I felt well prepared for the exam. The teacher was very knowledgeable and knew how to convey the subject matter in a pleasant, accessible way. What made the course extra strong was the personal attention given to each student. They really took the time to answer questions and go into more depth on topics where necessary. The interaction between the teacher and students was excellent, and there was plenty of opportunity to actively participate. The wines tasted were very varied and perfectly matched the topics covered, bringing theory and practice together nicely. I have no suggestions for improvement – everything ran smoothly and felt professional and well thought out. In short: I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to get serious about wine and prepare well for the SDEN2 exam.
Carlie Geerts
I found the SDEN2 wine course to be very valuable. The content of the course was excellent: well thought out, clearly structured and easy to follow. The balance between theory and practice was just right, which meant that the material stuck and could be applied immediately during the tastings. The instructor was highly knowledgeable. What I particularly liked was the interaction with the other students. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss wines, which created a dynamic and educational atmosphere in the classroom. The wines tasted were varied and well chosen, matching the topics covered. They gave a clear picture of the most important wine styles and regions of origin. The intensity of the weekly lessons can also be perceived as challenging, but because the lessons are so enjoyable, it does not feel tedious. All in all, I would definitely recommend this course to others who want to deepen their knowledge of wine and are looking for good preparation for the SDEN2 exam.
Ophelia Leng
Hi Jacqueline, yesterday I started my WSET 3 course in Rotterdam and want to say it again to you how good your teaching method were and the quality of your teaching!!! Your way of teaching is much better , much more interactive, professional, well organized! You have so much knowledge and well passed to us. I hope one day you can also start teaching WSET course in Breda region! Groetjes, Ophelia
Roger Brouwers
24-9-2024: Passion for tasting was the name of the wine tasting event organised by Jacqueline. Delicious and, above all, exceptional wines accompanied by matching snacks. Thanks to her enthusiasm and impressive knowledge, the wine club, consisting solely of men, remained captivated throughout the tasting. A wonderful memory. Thank you, Jacqueline.
Neighborhood Care Breda South
7-5-24 We had a wine tasting with snacks from Jaqueline in the beautiful ice cream factory in Breda! We tasted delicious wines and learned which flavours to recognise in wine after an enthusiastic explanation! We experienced how a snack can change the taste of wine! Jaqueline, thank you for your enthusiastic and enjoyable explanation on behalf of our group of district nurses!
Sophie B.
After successfully completing the three SDEN courses, Jacqueline organised a Spain/Portugal Masterclass last night. We got to taste delicious wines with different cheeses, and at the end of the evening, she and her husband Rob served a fantastic paella😋. We thoroughly enjoyed all these delicacies. We have had the pleasure of experiencing her enthusiasm on several occasions; she is such an engaging storyteller when it comes to wines and everything related to them, and it is always a small (and educational) celebration! We certainly hope there will be a follow-up to this.
Stef Hack
We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting! Without too many expectations, we (a mixed group of seven friends) visited the beautiful Ijsfabriek de Noordpool building. Without us knowing, it turned out to be a blind wine tasting, so we really had to savour it. Top wines with matching dishes. It was great fun :-) Thank you, Jacqueline, and see you soon!
Hans and Karin
Once again, we had a very enjoyable experience with Jacqueline last Sunday, 12 November. This time, it was a wine tasting in Gilze, where all of Jacqueline's wines are stored. It was very well organised, with many different wines from various countries such as France, Italy, Spain, and Chile, but also from lesser-known countries such as Slovenia and Croatia. Of course, we brought back a small collection, as the wine cellar needs to be filled (and stay that way😊).
Jean-Philippe
In the atmospheric ambiance of the IJsfabriek de Noordpool national monument in Breda, hostess and wine expert Jacqueline de Gouw guided us through the SDEN 2 course material over five evenings. Each evening also included extensive tasting and discussion of a selection of wines. This combination of Brabant hospitality with an eye for both theory and practice made these evenings a weekly pleasure. I will also be taking SDEN 3 with her!
Hans and Karin van der Sluis
On 22 June, Jacqueline organised an Italian Masterclass in her cosy Experience Kitchen in Breda, where almost all of us from last winter's SDEN3 group were present. How wonderful that we were all so enthusiastic about participating. But then again, with a teacher like that, it's no surprise. The entire course was very well organised, with lots of wine tastings and clear, useful information that definitely helped us achieve a great end result. The Masterclass itself was also perfectly organised with lots of different wines (no fewer than 15!) from Italy, and she also presented matching snacks with each wine. It was all delicious, I think we all thoroughly enjoyed this evening and hope there will be a sequel, because outside Italy there are many more wonderful wine countries to discover.
Willem
We took the SDEN 2 wine course with Jacqueline. With great enthusiasm, knowledge and delicious wines, Jacqueline helped us discover even more about the world of wine.
Laurens
A perfectly organized wine tasting held at 🏡 our home. Everything went smoothly and the entire afternoon was arranged from start to finish. Wonderful wines, a great story with impressive knowledge of grapes🍇🍷. Because the wines were presented blind, each participant had to rely on their sense of smell, color, and taste buds.
Klaas and Jolanda Bos
A wonderfully infectious passion for wine. Jacqueline knows what she's talking about and, with her enthusiasm, taught us so much in just a few evenings of SDEN1 and then SDEN2 that we can now choose a delicious wine at the off-licence and know which wine goes with which dish in a restaurant. We've become so eager to learn that we're continuing with SDEN3. See you soon, Jacqueline!
Sophie B
I started with Sden1 out of curiosity and have now completed all three courses with Jacqueline. I learned a great deal during these informative and relaxed evenings. Jacqueline is incredibly enthusiastic and knows how to convey that enthusiasm well. That's why, after the first course, it was immediately clear that I wanted to learn more. Last night was the final evening, and I can look back on a fantastic experience!
Sophie B
Mark Nederhof
I have completed SDEN1, SDEN2 and SDEN3 here. The name Passion for Wine more than lives up to its name. Jacqueline manages to surprise us with special and excellent wines every lesson. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her knowledge of wine makes you curious to learn more. Highly recommended for both wine lovers and budding wine experts... Kind regards, Mark Nederhof
Nathascha van der Heiden
A really enjoyable and informative wine course. Jacqueline knows what she's talking about and teaches with passion. I'm going to continue! I'm really enthusiastic about her way of sharing knowledge. Highly recommended if you want to learn more about wine! Kind regards, Nathascha
Sharifa Yacubu
Yesterday we had a fantastic wine and food tasting organised by Jacqueline. We thoroughly enjoyed the combinations she had prepared for us. Highly recommended and educational too. We placed an order straight away because the wines were really delicious. Kind regards, Sharifa.
Cynthia Both
Thank you, Jacqueline, for this interesting, informative, and enjoyable evening with our networking club JCC from Breda. We thoroughly enjoyed your enthusiastic explanations and expertise! Not to mention the exceptional wines and perfectly paired snacks. I will continue to savour the moment with the wines that were just delivered! Kind regards, Cynthia Both
Hans and Karin
Informative and, above all, very enjoyable, getting to know other wine lovers. Jacqueline has a wealth of knowledge, which she enthusiastically shared with us all. We tasted lots of different wines! All in all, a fantastic course, definitely recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about wine!
Linda
We thoroughly enjoyed the bubbles and the delicious snacks! A fantastic evening!
Michiel & Estelle
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed completing the SDEN02 course with Jacqueline. She is highly skilled and brimming with knowledge, which she loves to share with her students. She creates a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere during the course and, in addition to the standard material, shares a wealth of extra knowledge, which is a real treat for eager learners. You can also feast on the enormous variety of wines you get to taste; it really is like a sweet shop for adults, being able to taste so many special wines together. In short, as far as we are concerned, the name 'passion for wine' is no exaggeration. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to take their wine knowledge to the next level. Off to SDEN03 with Jacqueline! - Michiel & Estelle
Emiel de Wit
I would recommend anyone to take a wine course here. Jacqueline has a great combination of knowledge and enthusiasm about wine and goes the extra mile. It was incredibly enjoyable and educational, and I learned and tasted a lot.

For those who want to take their first steps towards a broader knowledge of wine, Jacqueline's Passion for Wine is the place to be. I took SDEN 1 & 2 with Jacqueline and made great strides in my personal development with regard to wine. THANK YOU!
John V.
Over the past three months, I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the SDEN1 and SDEN2 courses. Jacqueline's infectious enthusiasm and expertise formed the basis for two and five informative and, above all, enjoyable evenings, during which the planned end time of the course was often flexible :-). Jacqueline managed to surprise us every evening, especially during the SDEN2 course, with a very wide and wonderful selection of wines to taste and analyse. Hats off to Jacqueline!
Sam J.
Had a really enjoyable course and enjoyed different wines from all kinds of countries! The wine was served with delicious snacks! Highly recommended!
Astrid Jongeneelen
On Easter Monday, we had a wine and food tasting with the whole family. It was great fun with delicious snacks. Jacqueline had responded well to the information provided in advance about the guests' tastes! We all enjoyed the tasting with lovely wines.
Ad
Last Sunday, I attended a short wine course with wine tasting at Jacqueline's with some friends. She expertly taught us a number of basic principles of wine culture and all kinds of flavours. The wine tasting was interspersed with tasty snacks, accompanied, of course, by the appropriate wines. It was such a fantastic and enjoyable experience. Jacqueline is passionate about wine and provided us wine drinkers with interesting and useful information. I would definitely recommend it for a pleasant afternoon and/or evening with friends. Thank you, Jacqueline, it was wonderful 🍷
Wim de Jongh
A few years ago, I started learning about wine, which I really enjoyed. I knew absolutely nothing about wine, except that there was red and white wine! Then I had the idea of taking a course with my wife at Passie voor Wijnen. I have become much more knowledgeable, by tasting and evaluating various wines during the course. It was enjoyable to taste and evaluate wine with strangers. I received a lot of information and, of course, learned a great deal. Now we have both obtained our first certificate, which is wonderful. Thank you, Jaqueline.
Estrellas Breda
Afgelopen zaterdag hebben we een uitstekende wijnproeverij van Jacqueline gehad, mooie wijnen, lekkere hapjes, maar ook geleerd de combinatie van wijn met eten en welke geuren en smaken dat allemaal kan hebben. Wij, de mannen van Estrellas Breda (www.estrellasbreda.nL), hebben er van genoten. Een aanrader. Gr. Erik
Geert-Jan Wouters
Yesterday we enjoyed the wonderful Amativo, a top wine! The guests also loved this wine and we had a great time. A wonderful wine to enjoy!
Pieter Birnie
As Genootschap Netwerk, a group of men from Oosterhout, we organised a wine tasting. We became aware of Jacqueline after reading an article in the newspaper De Stem about "Passion for wine." It was a tremendous success. She brought us a number of unknown wines. Jacqueline's professional commentary captured our full attention. All in all, it was a TOP presentation full of knowledge and passion, and in our case, it took place at our society's location. Highly recommended!
Frank Wouts
Good morning Jacqueline, I had another thoroughly enjoyable and, above all, educational evening yesterday at Henk Jan's. Not only because of the interesting company, the delicious wines, your high level of knowledge and extremely professional attitude, but also because of your very charming appearance! But what a seemingly endless amount of information one can still acquire in the world of wine, I am amazed by it every time! Very valuable knowledge, however, which can clearly improve a person's well-being and enjoyment! Regards, Frank
Ton
This year, we were the first to enjoy another superb wine tasting with delicious, matching snacks from Jacqueline. We had a really great afternoon and it was quite a surprise for those who were there for the first time ;-)
Mitra Beverage Specialist Berrie Peek
Our team requested a fun and educational way to refresh our knowledge of wine. We quickly found Jacqueline from passievoorwijnbreda.nl. Over two evenings, which beautifully combined and alternated theory and tasting, she gave us an update on the world of wine. The second evening ended with a SenD1 exam, which was of course a challenge for us to score highly. Four of our colleagues went home with a 10. The other team members passed with flying colours. Jacqueline, thank you for the informative evenings. Team Mitra Slijterij Berrie Peek

I was very surprised by Jacqueline's versatility and knowledge; it was very interesting to learn about everything. The atmosphere was pleasant and calm, and everyone remained very engaged until the end. Highly recommended!
Jack Shoemaker
Jacqueline, thank you for the incredibly enjoyable online wine tasting. Our colleagues at the law firm loved the wines and accompanying snacks. We received great feedback from everyone. Thank you again.
Herman O.
We were looking for an educational wine tasting. The wine tasting of Passion for wine Breda has given us a lot of insight into the difference in soil, the process of winemaking and insight into the different flavors. Highly recommend.
Irene
Jacqueline, thank you for a very enjoyable online wine tasting. My colleagues found it very enjoyable and educational. And the wines were delicious. We hope to be able to do it live next time.
Hein
Jacqueline, you have lovely wines that are authentic and also exceptionally tasty. Thank you for the excellent service of delivering my order to my home in gift packaging and, of course, for the very pleasant chat about wine at the front door. TOP NOTCH!
Lieke R
Delightful and surprising wine recommendations from Jacqueline during our private dining event. Her explanations of her choices via a video on the app were very enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Gertjan and Carla Ruis
We had a very informative and interesting wine tasting. Jacqueline enthusiastically told us all about wines. It was a pleasant afternoon. Highly recommended for anyone who loves wine!
Stefanie P
Compliments on the interesting SDEN 1 wine course. Two enjoyable evenings with a mix of facts and wine tasting. Recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about wine. Well organised and a pleasant, atmospheric and easily accessible location in Breda.
Julius N
A great Father's Day gift! I'm not really a wine drinker, but even I found it enjoyable, informative and delicious. Highly recommended!
Esther and Jules van der Linden
We had a very enjoyable wine tasting at Jacqueline's. She is a pleasant woman who is entertaining and informative. She knows her stuff. In addition to the good wines, you also get some snacks. We had a great time and look back on a lovely afternoon.
Noortje
Jacqueline is a very pleasant woman who speaks and acts with passion. The wine and food tasting was anything but standard! We enjoyed the beautiful wines, delicious homemade snacks and the information Jacqueline shared with us. TOP! Highly recommended. Noortje
Chris Hazewinkel
We had a very enjoyable and pleasant evening. We learned a lot, there was lots of interaction, and we sampled a wide variety of excellent wines from different regions. The snacks were also delicious. It was a real treat. Thank you! Definitely recommended!
Ad and Jorine
On Friday evening, 14 August, we had a pleasant and informative wine tasting in Prinsenbeek. Jacqueline also provided delicious snacks, and it was amazing how a snack can change the taste of wine in your mouth. It was a wonderful experience of the flavours of France and Italy. The whole group is considering doing it again.
Henk-Jan
Last night, I hosted a pleasant wine tasting in my garden, organised by the Turfschiploge in Breda, with a group of 15 guests. Jacqueline had just returned from her wine trip to France and took us on a journey, mainly blind tasting wines she had brought back with her. It was wonderful to identify the various flavours and aromas. It was as if we were in France with the warm temperatures that evening. The evening flew by and the atmosphere was great. Definitely worth repeating! Thank you, Jacqueline! Everyone thought it was a memorable evening. Kind regards, Henk Jan.
Marjanna
Yesterday, we had a lovely wine tasting with Jacqueline. She brought us a wide variety of wines. It was fun to develop our own taste with them. Jacqueline also shared some interesting facts about the wine-making process. A fun and educational evening!
Jeannie
We had a really lovely experience on Saturday: a wine tasting at home with our children. Jacqueline selected a number of wonderful Italian wines based on our preferences and delivered them to us, along with the accompanying information. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves... thanks in part to Jacqueline's expertise!
Monique van der Griendt
Dear Jacqueline, thank you so much for the fantastic online wine tasting for my birthday! You arranged everything very quickly and the packages with the delicious wines all arrived on time. We enjoyed the evening and it was a really nice way to celebrate my birthday during the coronavirus pandemic. I wish you every success! Kind regards, Monique
Henk and Liesbeth
On 25 January, we held a wine tasting at our home to celebrate a birthday. We invited three couples, all of whom enjoy a glass of wine, and a good glass of wine at that. Jacqueline made it a wonderful evening with fantastic wines and professional explanations. We were given a form on which we could note our discoveries during the tasting. It was amazing when, after tasting the wine, we drank it after eating our homemade snacks. This was also on Jacqueline's advice. The combination made the taste completely different. It was a lovely, enjoyable evening and, of course, we immediately stocked up on some of that delicious wine. Henk and Liesbeth.
Helene
Had a lovely evening on Saturday, with delicious wines and tasty snacks. Jacqueline taught us a lot about the wines. It was great!
Jeanne
What a lovely evening we had yesterday with Jacqueline's wine and food tasting experience! Jacqueline taught us lots of interesting facts about wine and we got to enjoy different types of wine accompanied by delicious snacks that she had made herself. It was a great success, which we look back on with great pleasure. Thank you again, Jacqueline, for this special experience!
Yvonne Koppelaars
Last night, I raised a glass with Jacqueline, my brother, my three sisters, and all their partners at my eldest sister's house. We had organised a wine tasting for her birthday. It was a great success. We are all wine lovers and Jacqueline showed us how the taste of wine can 'change' when you eat certain things with it, and which wines are best to drink with certain foods. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed ourselves. Jacqueline is a lovely person with a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommended for a fun evening if you love wine!
Merel Vermeijs
Last week, we enjoyed a wonderful wine and food experience with Jacqueline. Six Italian wines of exceptional quality were served with delicious appetisers to experience the effect of pairing the right wine with the right dish. Jacqueline taught us a lot about the Italian wine world, sharing her personal wine travel experiences and extensive knowledge. Finally, we were able to enjoy the most delicious wine with a delicious pasta dish and a fine dessert with delicious cherry wine afterwards. All this in her Experience Kitchen, in a very fitting authentic location in the heart of Breda. Jacqueline, thank you for your hospitality and organisation. Highly recommended!
Coolies
Last Saturday, 9 November, we had a very successful Italian wine tasting. The group, ranging from beginners to those familiar with wine tasting, found it a very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks to the professional explanation and overview, we all learned a lot and made new discoveries about grapes and delicious wines. Jacqueline, thank you for everything and for the love you show for your hobby. You come highly recommended to others. Thank you very much. The Cooltjes family
Ferdy
Last night we had a fun, enjoyable and tasty tasting session. It was a spontaneous decision and Jacqueline responded quickly. A nice introduction and a good tasting session. Our diverse group really enjoyed the professional guidance. We learned something new and had a wonderful evening. Highly recommended for many.
Peter & Joyce
What a special wine evening we had last night at your place, Jacqueline, with delicious Spanish wines and wonderful cheeses. Although we have been a group of friends who have formed the Berkel-Enschot wine club since the 1980s, we still learned so much! What a wealth of knowledge you have about wines, Jacqueline! Compliments. The beautiful slide presentation of the wine regions that you made especially for us was very clear. Your homemade appetisers were also delicious. Jacqueline, thank you for the very tasty and enjoyable wine evening. Love from Peter and Joyce
Els
Atmospheric, cosy and educational. That's how I look back on Jacqueline's wine tasting with our group of friends, who had something to celebrate. Jacqueline taught us the basics of tasting with six different white wines. What a variety of wines! Under Jacqueline's expert and friendly guidance, we learned a lot, but above all had a very enjoyable evening. The special ambiance of the De Noordpool ice cream factory in Breda added a special touch. In short: highly recommended!
Floris
Last weekend, a group of ten men visited Alphen. We invited Jacqueline to join us for a food and wine experience, and what an experience it was! In addition to a clear and informative explanation about wines and Jacqueline's adventures, we were able to taste the differences between tasting wines on their own and tasting wines after a delicious dish prepared by Jacqueline herself. A very enjoyable wine tasting where the love of wine and, above all, conviviality prevailed! Jacqueline, thank you once again for the enjoyable experience and the well-organised evening!
Jan van Boxtel
Lovely surroundings, ideal for a party weekend 🎉🎉🎉, highly recommended for everyone! Jaculine, what a lovely person, everything explained clearly! We had a wonderful time! #thank you 🍀 the MOERDIJKSE club✌🏼
Sylvia
Last weekend, we celebrated our family party with a wine theme. We spent the night in two wine barrels converted into cabins. What could be more logical than organising a wine tasting? Quite a challenge, given the composition of our family and the wide diversity of wine knowledge. The youngest members (both 19) are not yet very familiar with the world of wine, while the oldest two (50+) are quite knowledgeable, with everyone else falling somewhere in between. Jacqueline managed to captivate everyone in our group with her knowledge and explanations. We learned a lot in a very relaxed way. Jacqueline remained calm and did not let herself be distracted by all the jokes, but knew how to go with the flow of the group's atmosphere. She also brought some delicious wines with her, some of which we will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommended.
Geert-Jan Wouters
Last night, our wine group from Arnhem, the Preufneuzen, enjoyed a wonderful, educational and convivial wine experience. Jaqueline took us on a journey through Italy with some very special wines. The combination with Jaqueline's homemade delicacies made the experience complete. A blind tasting with two white and four red wines opened our eyes. The nice thing about a blind tasting is that you have to rely on your other senses. We did the wine tasting in the former IJsfabriek de Noorpool, a beautiful historic location. In short, it was a very successful evening and highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience this for themselves.
Igor Spierenburg
Had a lovely wine tasting at home last night with eight friends. It was a gift for one of the friends, and we all enjoyed it together. Jacqueline asked if we had any specific requests, and we said we only wanted to taste Italian wines. We ended up blind tasting three white and three red wines, and the journey of discovery through Italy was wonderful! Jacqueline knows a lot about wines and really makes it an interesting experience. Highly recommended! What's more, the wines that were served are also available to buy at a reasonable price. In short, it was a successful wine tasting evening as far as we are concerned. We will definitely be repeating the experience with the wines we ordered. For us, it was a wonderful, enjoyable evening! Thank you, Jacqueline!
Koen Witteveen
We had a really enjoyable wine tasting! We learned a lot and tasted some delicious wines. Jacqueline had chosen a beautiful picturesque spot near Terheijden. We all sat outside and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!
Becky Jo van Dijk
We had a really enjoyable, educational and fun wine tasting afternoon! As a surprise for my boyfriend's 30th birthday, I organised a wine tasting with a small group of friends and family. Jacqueline was very enthusiastic and helpful in making this surprise a success. She had chosen a beautiful outdoor location. My boyfriend likes the more robust wines (Barolo, Amarone, Rioja), so she helped us plan a more luxurious tasting. We were also able to choose our preferred country of origin for the wines. We were very enthusiastic about the wines and all the explanations and information provided. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back, Jacqueline! Then a South African tasting just before our trip there. Thank you for your input and service!
Frans
This week, our wine club IVV visited Jacqueline. We blind tasted eight wines. Some were very surprising, but there were also a few classics. And finally, the incredible Riesling Late Harvest, a dessert in itself; nothing else is needed. Jacqueline knows a lot about wine and can talk about it in an entertaining way; we learned a lot more this evening. Her homemade snacks were an excellent addition; you can taste how the right snack influences the wine, often improving it. A great evening. We will definitely be back. Frans Saes
Manon
A wonderfully enjoyable, interesting and educational evening for a group aged between 20 and 55. Prior to the wine tasting, Jaqueline will contact you to ensure that the wines are suited to the group. During the tasting, Jaqueline talks passionately and enthusiastically about her experiences and the background of the wines. She guides you in learning to recognise flavours. We had a wonderful evening. Thank you, Jacqueline!
Jose
Thank you, Jacqueline, for the enjoyable and informative evening, as well as the delicious and unique wines and accompanying snacks. I never knew there could be so many flavour variations in wine. We were with a group of friends and had a wonderful evening. We would love to come back for more!
Anneke van Kouwen
Yesterday we had a very enjoyable, educational and fascinating wine experience. What delicious wines and how much fun it was to discover and recognise the flavours together with Jaqueline. We are a group of friends aged 60+ who appreciate the pleasures of life. Well, last Sunday we certainly did that. The snacks were also very successful and it was funny to discover that the taste of the snacks can change the taste of the wine. Compliments for the nice presentation and beautiful stories. It leaves us wanting more. How about enjoying various chilled rosé and white wines in the garden this summer? Highly recommended for young and old alike. Thank you, Jacqueline. Kind regards, Anneke van Kouwen.
Tessa
A very enjoyable and educational evening! We learned a lot about the background of wine flavours and how to taste them. There were also delicious snacks and it was fascinating to discover how food changes the taste of wine. There was also very tasty non-alcoholic wine and vegetarian snacks, which suited our group perfectly.
Marianne van Eekeren
Hello Jacqueline, It felt like a night out in Hoogerheide. Your passion for wine really came into its own; we enjoyed the tasting and the explanations of what we should be tasting. Absolutely wonderful! Marianne van Eekeren and friend Kees
Jasper
Highly recommended for everyone! Jacqueline organises a really enjoyable activity, combining fantastic wines, delicious snacks and, above all, entertaining stories and useful tips on how to taste/analyse wines. We had a wonderful evening!
Hans Hoevenaar
Thank you for the wine tasting. I really learned how to taste wine, and the background information on how wine develops its flavours was very informative. There were some delicious wines (to my taste!) at a reasonable price. I will definitely be back to buy a few bottles!
Theo Hoedemakers
Thank you for the informative evening. I really enjoyed the delicious variety. Cheers!

Last Wednesday's wine tasting was a great success for our experienced group of 10 seniors, thanks to Jacqueline's interesting and enjoyable explanations about the various wines and their origins. Our taste buds were put to work and, of course, we were left wanting more! We have now purchased the tastiest wines, along with the stories that go with them.

Even as an experienced wine lover, Jacqueline was able to surprise us several times during a cosy family gathering and mislead us about the origin and grape variety of the wine. Highly recommended for a cosy wine and food gathering. The whole family was very enthusiastic. Compliments to Jacqueline! Denise

It was truly a fantastic evening, we learned a lot, tasted a lot (especially the wine/food pairing with the delicious tapas was very surprising). We really enjoyed ourselves in a relaxed atmosphere. Well done, Jacqueline!

An informative and, above all, enjoyable wine tasting! Jacqueline introduced us to various wines on location. The tasting was completely tailor-made, tailored to the group and the location. Jacqueline guides you in a personal way; enthusiastic, casual and very pleasant. Definitely recommended for a fun evening where you can brush up on your wine knowledge!

We had a lovely wine tasting with Jacqeline! It was a really enjoyable evening, discovering which types of wine you like. Accessible, but knowledgeable, and everything in English too! Well done! Everything was perfectly organised and we had a great time with the whole group. We ordered some more wine afterwards and we're going to enjoy drinking it soon! Well done!

Hi Jacqueline, On Thursday 5 April, I had an informative and, above all, enjoyable evening at my friend's house. I didn't know you could taste and smell so much in wine. Thanks again for the lovely evening! Henny and Jac Jansen

Hi Jacqueline, A huge thank you for making my birthday wine tasting experience so special. Your knowledge of wines is amazing, especially loved how relaxed and interactive you made the evening, while learning about the wines. My guests enjoyed the evening and are still talking about it! I would highly recommend, to anybody who would love to learn and enjoy wines to have an event. Your love and passion for wine is evident! Again a huge thank you.
