Female power in a glass | Female winemakers in the spotlight at restaurant Omber

6-3-2026

At Restaurant Omber, located in the historic Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Hotel, a good glass of wine carries extra meaning. To mark International Women’s Day 2026, Omber is putting female winemakers in the spotlight. Not only on this special day, but throughout the year the restaurant supports talented female winemakers who shape the sector with their vision and craftsmanship.

The wine list consists largely of wines made by women. Guests who take a seat and order a glass are therefore not only choosing quality but are also supporting female creativity and leadership in a traditionally male-dominated profession.

A tribute to women

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2026,  restaurant Omber once again highlights these female makers. The wine list features wines from, among others, four estates of Marchesi Antinori, where female winemakers and oenologists play a central role. From a Clos Martinet by Sara Pérez (Priorat, Spain) to a Lapostolle crafted by winemakers Andrea León and Paola Muñoz (Colchagua Valley, Chile), these women know exactly how to create exceptional wines.

Restaurant Omber | Rembrandt’s muse

With its selection, restaurant Omber demonstrates how women are shaping the future of wine today. The wine list is inspired by Saskia van Uylenburgh, muse and first wife of Rembrandt van Rijn, creating a subtle link with the rich history of the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Hotel. The famous painting ‘The Night Watch’ hung here for more than seventy years, and a replica can still be found at the hotel today.

This connection forms a natural thread throughout the wine list. Saskia symbolizes the bridge between art, inspiration and female strength.

Art on the plate and in your glass

The wine selection is complemented by the ‘Masterpiece’ or ‘Golden Age’ menu by chef Jose Juan Arias Senes, where each dish is presented as a work of art, just as the name suggests. From refined amuse-bouches to carefully composed main courses and desserts, every element reflects Rembrandt’s masterful use of light, colour and texture.

Tivoli Doelen Hotel | A historic location

The Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Hotel, the oldest hotel in the city, forms the setting for this unique experience. Centuries of stories come together here: ‘The Night Watch’ painting once hung here, Empress Elisabeth of Austria stayed at the hotel, and even The Beatles visited during their tour.

Today it is known as a luxurious meeting place where history and contemporary hospitality reinforce one another, with Restaurant Omber as its gastronomic destination.

Tivoli Doelen is part of Minor Hotels, which currently operates 17 properties in Portugal, Brazil, Qatar, China and the Netherlands. With 90 years of experience, Tivoli Hotels & Resorts distinguishes itself through a range of unique and authentic experiences, combined with innovative and high-quality service.
