Rice Wine Tasting with Sommelier - Finest Makgeolli (& Soju)

Come along for a unique Korean rice wine tasting, hosted by Jay, a Korean liquor sommelier, and Sam, a certified Korean alcohol brewer.

Korean alcohol is so much more than just that familiar green bottle of Soju.

Makgeolli, a fermented and unfiltered (thus hazy) rice wine, is widely consumed, yet poorly understood, despite its popularity.

We've explored hundreds of Makgeollis across Korea, finding fantastic, flavorful bottles—many from small, local producers rarely able to reach a wider audience.

Our aim is to introduce you to the best Makgeolli in each category.

Our tasting takes place in a hidden backroom of a small, specialty rice wine shop.
