Experience the Legacy of Lucas Bols in a Splendid Journey of Flavours
Embark on a captivating 90-minute adventure into the world of Lucas Bols, the world’s oldest blending house, dating back to 1575. Begin your self-guided tour in the Hall of Taste — a showcase of 38 unique house blends that celebrate centuries of craftsmanship. Take in rich flavours, aromas, images, soundscapes, and films as you move through the Delft Blue Room, World of Cocktails Club, and Bols Genever Room. Discover the story of Bols Genever, Holland’s historic spirit brought back to life from an 1820 recipe.
Your visit culminates at the innovative Mirror Bar, where skilled hosts create a signature serve based on your selected flavours — prepared just for you. Wrap up your experience by trying your hand at flair bartending in the Flair Booth, then browse unique finds and gifts at the Bols Shop to take a piece of the tradition home.
