If you enjoy rice wine then this is the class for you! - Wonderful experience learning about the art of rice wine making. Joe was an incredible instructor who gave us hands on opportunity in the making of this age old product. We even made a batch to take home with us. Got to taste a wonderful flight of different blends as well. I really enjoyed the class!

We were hosted in a... - We were hosted in a quaint and cozy little shop, in an intimate space. Joe was a pleasant and knowledgeable host who guided us and answered all of our questions. And of course, the makgeolli was amazing! And not to mention, when we got lost looking for his shop, he was patient enough to help us figure out how to find him.

Fun class and now I can make my own! - I had a great time learning how to make makgeolli at Joe's class. I have been drinking makgeolli for about 30 years but I didn't understand the subtlety of what to look for in a good makgeolli. And now I know how to make my own! I highly recommend this to anyone who likes drinking makgeolli and wants a fun activity learning how to make it. We also sampled some of Joe's makgeolli and it was DELICIOUS!

Social, great event - Fun lecture on the history and cultural significance of Makgeolli and the production of other types of alcohol. Also the tasting of the different varieties was great! We had a lot of fun and were able to make and take our own Makgeolli. We have now bought all the ingredients at home and will soon be making our own Makgeolli. Thanks again:)

Making delicious makgeolli that will impress you - It was my first time making makgeolli. I was taught how to make makgeolli very carefully and it was a wonderful time. I was able to sample many different kinds of makgeolli. The homemade makgeolli was incredibly delicious. I'm looking forward to taking the makgeolli home with me.

Fun hands on class with a great instructor - Joe was an excellent host and had great communication both before and after the class. I'd recommend this as a unique experience to anyone who likes getting hands on and learning something new. As a bonus, the makgeolli keeps flowing and it's fun seeing the difference between all the different options.

I'd recommend this class to anyone travelling to Seoul in a heartbeat, don't miss out! My only regret is that I wouldn't be able to take my makgeolli with me on the plane home.
