Overview

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, flavours, 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 emphasises understanding, context, and sensory awareness.

This refined experience is open exclusively to travellers of legal drinking age
