Makgeolli Tour one of the best things I did in SK!

The Makgeolli Master Brewer tour with Julia was delightful. I got to see places & meet people I never would’ve been able to on my own. Julia’s knowledge of the Korean brewing industry - and her Korean language skills were truly impressive. Not only knowledgeable...More

A unique insight into a rich culture

What a fun way to spend a few hours, learning how to make the base for Makgeolli or Soju if that’s your flavour. Julia was a great teacher with lots of interesting stories and tips to explore Seoul

Fantastic experience!

The Master Brewer tour was the best drink/food tour I’ve ever experienced! It was just what I was looking for. We enjoyed excellent Korean alcohol and food, and got expert advice about tasting and brewing. Friendly and informative.

Learning + Drinking = one super fun evening!

We had the BEST time on a Makgeoli-tasting tour through the lovely traditional neighborhood of Insadong. Our guide for the evening was the effervescent Julia, an Australian who has been living in Korea studying traditional Korean alcohol for 11 years, so she knows her stuff!...More

Great class and tour

Had an amazing day learning to make makgeolli, with sample to try for inspiration, of course. Julie was a thorough and fun teacher and the follow on tour we did with her in a master brewer's house was equally informative and delicious.

Informational and fun

Had a great time understanding makkoli, the history and the culture behind it. Even had a chance to make our own makkoli. Sadly, we were not able to bring the sample back home for fear of custom restrictions.

Glad you had a good time! I hope you get a chance to make it yourself at home, it's awesome to have a supply of your own fresh makgeolli in the fridge :) Let me know if you have any questions!
