Makgeolli and Soju Brewing Experience in Jeju

The Sool Brewing Experience in Jeju is an absolute gem for anyone curious about the island's rich drinking culture. Far more than just a tasting, this hands-on workshop immerses you in the art of traditional Korean liquor-making. Under the guidance of passionate experts, you learn about the local ingredients, the fermentation process, and the history behind Jeju's unique sool. You can learn and make your own Makgeolli! Joh was so professional he is so passoniate, he let us sample the brewary liquor product as well! Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience and was hands down definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Jeju! The handsome Joh was very funny, entertaining and informative which made our understanding and experience very worth-while. In addition to making our own alchol, we were able to try unlimited Makegolli, rice wine and soju. Since we booked the 2-hr package, handsome Joh even prepared dinner for us with Kimchi Jigae and Kimchi pancakes! Highly recommend to go!

It was a really fun experience. Worth it! Dave, with all his animated expressions, heartfelt songs, and witty jokes made it worthwhile. Dave was so hospitable and accommodating. After the session, he helped us booked a taxi and recommended an excellent abalone specialty restaurant nearby. The liquors are outstanding 🥂

The workshop was interesting and educational. It was a bit of a science experiment but only with fun and exciting parts. We had black pork bbq with fried kimchi for the "after party" as Joh called it. We got the chance to try several "sool" and Joh was considerate to have provided tonic water when he noticed we could not drink those with high alcohol content. We also got to bring our jars of makgeolli home. The anxiety of whether or not the fermentation was doing well and the anticipation of the finished product had extended the enjoyable experience.

We had such a fun time! Learned a lot and had a great time making the alcohol and a better time drinking it haha. Would definitely repeat again but maybe not the 2 hour bus ride back to our guest house haha

Superb class! Joh was such a great teacher and he made the class very fun and entertaining! Got to learn about and taste a variety of alcohol alongside with good food! Woudl definitely recommend this amazing experience!

This is a perfect 막걸리 making experience with David! He is really kind and humorous and also enthusiastic about Korean alcohol. We enjoy learning, making and drinking at 술도가 제주바당! We're honored to know David and hope we can meet again soon in Jeju or Taiwan! 🥰❤️We are looking forward to receive the photos taken by David, thank you so much!

The experience activity is divided into two parts. First, we will introduce the formation process of alcohol and the differences between Korean rice wine and soju, and then let us make our own makgeolli. The activity was very interesting, and the teacher was very considerate and explained in English and Korean. He knew we would take it with us on the plane and specially taught us how to prevent leaks 😂

it was an Amazon experience. Joe was super Nice and gave us a really good insight in the Production and the History of Mkgeolli and Alkohol in Korea. It was a really fun experience and we also got a really yummy Dinner of Kimchi-Jigae and Kimchi Pancakes.

We had SUCH a good time in this class ( a little too much fun 😆). Joh took great care of us and we learned so much about the Maegkolli process. I loved that we got to take our maegkolli home and got to sample different sojus etc while we listened. highly recommend for a unique experience (and for those who love to drink) 😆
