Fun experience! I didn't know much about makgeolli and now I know a lot more. The host is very friendly and extremely knowledgable. The experience makes it easy to meet new people too. I would recommend it to anyone I know traveling to Seoul.

I would recommend this experience to everyone! I’ve had makgeolli before but never knew there’s so much more to it. From the history of it to the making of the alcohol, Isaac was extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job sharing his passion in makgeolli with us. They were also very generous and kept offering us more and more to drink. Definitely a unique and fun experience! We absolutely love it !

this was a fantastic way for us to kick off our night. the host was informative and warm, made everyone comfortable straight away. We were a group of 3 and this was the perfect way to kick off our big night. lots of other individuals who came alone and left as a group to kick on, so whatever your situation is you will probably still have fun if you enjoy having a drink!

Issac was the host for our tasting and he was awesome! super knowledgeable and great to chat with. I knew very little about Soju and had never heard of Makgeolli till I came to Korea. it was really nice to learn more about both of them, and get to try some higher level varieties beyond the generic green bottles I have had before. I highly recommend taking the time to check out this experience.
