5.00Amazing way to discover Makgeolli. The host June gave me a great personalized experience and I got to learn the process behind this awesome beverage. I would recommend to have the full 3 hour experience if your intention is to taste everything available.
A hidden gem for makgeolli lovers

5.00I stumbled upon this experience during my trip and it ended up being one of my favorite moments in Korea. The space felt calm and beautiful, almost like a small gallery, which made the tasting feel special right away. June guided us through different types of makgeolli with clear explanations and so much passion. I was surprised by how many flavors there were and how different each one tasted. Some were light and fresh, others rich and complex, and it was fun discovering my favorites along the way. What made it even better was learning about makgeolli that can only be enjoyed in Korea because of its freshness. It truly felt like a unique cultural experience rather than just drinking. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something memorable and different.
It was an amazing experience. Highly recommended!

5.00Sweet, dry, creamy, fresh. every tasting was completely different. June explained each flavor so beautifully that it felt like discovering a hidden side of Korean food culture. We also ordered tteokbokki, and it was incredibly delicious. Everything together made the experience even more special and memorable.

5.00A really lovely experience overall. The explanations were clear without being overwhelming, and the tasting was surprisingly diverse. I particularly enjoyed learning why some makgeolli feels creamy while others are sharper. Very well hosted would happily recommend to friends.
