Highlights

Discover the delicate and deeply rooted art of Korean traditional alcohol through an immersive exploration of regional stories, brewing philosophy, terroir, and the cultural rituals surrounding drinking in Korea. Far beyond a simple tasting, this experience invites you to understand Korean alcohol as a living heritage shaped by climate, agriculture, history, and everyday life.


Guided by specialists in Korean food and fermentation culture, you will explore multiple styles of traditional Korean alcohol, including makgeolli, yakju, takju, and soju. Each brew is introduced with careful explanation, allowing you to compare textures, aromas, flavors, and brewing methods while gaining insight into how ingredients, fermentation techniques, and regional environments influence the final character of each drink. Rather than focusing on quantity, the experience emphasizes understanding, context, and sensory awareness.

Highly recommend Veronica from Korean Gourmet Hunters if you want to experience an authentic, non commercial, real local kind of experience in Seoul, Korea. Veronica is highly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Korean culture, including food. She is more than happy to share that knowledge with you and it's a truly humbling and informative sharing by her. She also brings you to local hidden gems which serves oh so good food that are unique and truly Korean. Will be back for more tours with her!
