Can I Take My Makgeolli Home?
Absolutely! Hundreds of our guests have successfully taken their homemade makgeolli back home, even on international flights. We'll show you how to transport and care for it during your travels.
For the best results, we recommend joining the class early in your trip. This gives your makgeolli extra time to ferment, so it's ready to enjoy—or take home—before you leave Korea.
Reviews
Joe is an excellent instructor who made the class both informative and engaging. I really enjoyed learning about the history of makgeolli and what differentiates a good one. The hands-on experience of making my own was a highlight of the course. I just hope my bottle survives the flight home! I would highly recommend this class.
I highly recommend the class with Joe at Baekusaeng. The place has a great atmosphere, you get plenty of interesting information, and the makgeolli you taste is delicious. Making your own jar of makgeolli is really satisfying!
we had a great time learning about makgeolli ! Joe keeps the class easy and fun for everyone to enjoy while letting us sample his makgeolli. We opted to leave our creation with Joe and buy the already made bottles to take home. I think our group has found a new appreciation for REAL makgeolli. Thank you Joe!
The class was awesome. We got to learn the history and all the steps of making this traditional Korean drink. The process was so easy to follow and Joe's passion for Makgeolli really comes to life when he is teaching. So don't hesitate and come to class. You can even take your own Makgeolli back home.
Such a fun and interesting experience! 🍶 I really enjoyed the Baekusaeng Makgeolli class and learned so much more than I expected about Korean makgeolli and the whole brewing process. A special shoutout to Isaac, who was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable and very generous in sharing lots of interesting information about makgeolli, Korean drinking culture and the little details behind the brewing process. He made the session relaxed, engaging and easy to follow. Definitely recommend this class if you’re looking for something different and more local to experience in Seoul. One of the highlights of my trip! ❤️🍶
