Highly recommended, interesting and delicious

Published on Apr, 2024

We (a couple) had an awesome experience, even with just two people. Our guide,Veronica, was very knowledgeable, funny and kind. The masterbrewer was similarly cool and served us delicious traditional rice wine. The food at the end is incredible and not to be missed. Great to eat food from a different part of Korea. Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect Korean hospitality!

Published on Feb, 2024

This tour was an absolutely incredible experience. Veronica was the most perfect guide who taught us so much about Seoul's history and Korean culture. My partner and I are both Koreaboos and having such a personalised, casual but respectful experience was truly a joy. The traditional alcohols and the stories that accompanied the tastings was just so special and the dinner afterwards was sumptuous and such a wonderful time. Veronica was extremely respectful of my accessibility needs and checked in with me in such an empathetic, caring way. It was GREATLY appreciated and I am so sorry this review has taken so long to post! Will definitely be booking with Veronica the next time we are in Seoul!

Fantastic way to learn about Korean brewing culture

What a cool way to learn about magkeolli. Veronica and Ms. Kwan were both extremely knowledgable and willing to share. The tasting was a very nice experience and the food afterwards was excellent. Thank you!

Wonderful tasting experience

Published on Sep, 2023

We booked this tour as a private tour for the 5 of us. We were pleasantly surprised that the soju brewers place was in the Bukchon Hanok Village. Such a lovely, peaceful area to walk around in the evening. Our guide, Veronica, was friendly and knowledgeable. The dinner afterwards was delightful.
