Reviews
Absolutely amazing. Joe was very welcoming and super knowledgeable. He made the experience instructive and fun at the same time. You can even buy some of the products you liked at the end of the tasting. Would 100% recommend to anyone :)
Very enlightening for the Korean Culture and how the process for creating and popularizing the drinks is done. I wish we had done this at the beginning of the trip to use as context. He shared with me a local Makgeolli maker so I could have more experiences when I return home. I would definitely recommend this experience!
This was a fun experience, especially if you’re a person interested in sprits and the process to make them. it was very informative in an non-pretentious atmosphere while tasting some great makeoli and soju. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
I learned so much from Joe about Korean alcohol! If you have even a slight interest in alcohol, I highly recommend taking this tasting course. There are also other courses, which I might try next time I visit South Korea! It was so much fun trying to guess which drink was which, and the explanations about the processes and differences between each type were fascinating. I never knew that soju had so many nuances, definitely an eye-opener! Thank you so much!
An absolute must do in Seoul! I believe culture can be understood through food and alcohol. This was a great glimpse into the history of drink in Korea. absolutely delicious products to taste. this was one of the highlights of my trip.
Great experience, very informative, host is lovely and a lot of booze ☺️
Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with our questions, and open and willing to share both histories and the product! I’m currently pregnant and couldn’t partake in the drinking, but Joe was so kind to make me feel included in the challenges through smell and give me a yummy sweet rice beverage. According to my husband, the Makgeolli was phenomenal. We definitely will be back the next time we’re in Seoul so I can try it!
Not only did we enjoy the makgeolli, but it was so much better getting to know the owner and be given the brief history of makgeolli and how it's made. Thank for the experience and I hope to come back again.
This was an AMAZING experience! Joe was great! I learned a lot about Makgeolli and Soju! Thank you Joe for making our trip even better with this experience!
We had a lovely time learning and tasting makgeolli and soju with Isaac, would highly recommend for a fun stop while in Seoul!
