Wynand Fockink

Wynand Fockink is a distillery that started in 1679. They offer distillery tours, but you must reserve at least a week in advance as they fill up quickly. It is also a tasting room and a liquor store. They have numerous liquors, brandies, and jenevers and encourage you to try them all. It is traditional to stoop and sip the first drink and not spill. Great liquors, and a good time in the back alleys of Amsterdam.

Opened for over twenty years, the Hash Museum is dedicated to debunking the lies and demonization about one of our most useful plants, the hemp plant. Although small, busy and seriously overpriced, it is a well-done museum where people go to get informed.
