Why Choose This Experience?

This isn't just a tasting or a one-time workshop—it's a complete introduction to authentic makgeolli brewing at a working brewery.

Unlike many classes, you'll learn the traditional techniques, ingredients, and fermentation process used to brew real Korean rice wine. Every step is designed to give you practical skills you can continue using at home.

As the author of the first comprehensive English guide to home brewing Korean rice wine and founder of Baekusaeng Brewery, I've helped thousands of students from around the world discover the art of makgeolli. Whether you're a complete beginner or a fermentation enthusiast, you'll leave with the knowledge, confidence, and inspiration to keep brewing long after your trip to Korea.
Become a Makgeolli Brewer—Not Just a Visitor

Go beyond a typical tasting and learn how to brew authentic Korean rice wine from start to finish at a working makgeolli brewery. This hands-on experience is designed to give you practical skills you can use long after your trip to Korea.

During the experience, you will:

- Taste carefully selected makgeolli while learning how to evaluate aroma, sweetness, acidity, and texture.
- Discover the role of rice, water, nuruk, yeast, and traditional brewing tools.
Learn the science of fermentation, including brewing, filtering, and conditioning.
- Brew your own fruit-infused makgeolli and take home approximately 1.2 liters to continue fermenting.

By the end of the class, you'll understand the complete brewing process and leave with the confidence to make authentic makgeolli at home, wherever you are in the world.
