Gastro Tour Seoul takes adults to visit a true artisan Korean Brew Master's workshop. With food and drinks included, you'll be introduced to quality Korean alcohol like Soju(distillation alcohol), Takju(the original form liquor for Makgeolli), and Yakju(rice-brewed wine) from this local brewer. You'll have the opportunity to learn about the entire process of turning rice into Soju and Takju(Makgeolli) and you'll venture deep into the heart of Korean alcohol culture as you explore this hidden brewery known only to the true locals.
This 2.5~3 hour-long tour will introduce you to master artisans who brew and distill according to time-honored methods. The tasting sessions are followed by a traditional homemade Korean dinner served together with bowls of Makgeolli.
This tour introduces Korean Traditional Hospitality when guests visit my place. We serve guests home-cooking meals and home-brewing together.

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!

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!

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!

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.

It was very fascinating to learn about how each traditional alcohol is made and we enjoyed our trip to the brew master’s workshop. The dinner was very interesting, and although it wasn’t really our taste, it was still interesting to try the traditional seafood dishes.

We really enjoyed the tasting and the opportunity to see how traditional Korean alcohol is made. We loved how cozy our little group felt. Our guide Veronica made sure not only that we had a great dinner, but she also showed us around the neighbourhood and made great suggestions for things to do. We highly recommend this tour to any traveler who likes having a good time while also learning new things!

We thoroughly enjoyed the discussion with the Brew Master at Bitdam and our dinner with Veronica. I am sure you will find a very different approach to Korean food compared to the usual spicy/in your face commercial food flavour profile.
While I am a drinker, my friend is not but both of us had fun. Thank you for an informative night.

My father and I had a great time! Veronica was a very knowledgeable guide who made us feel welcome. I learned a lot about Korean cultural food practices outside of just magkeolli and rice wine, too. Her company (Gastro Tour Seoul) offers a lot of other tours that I wish I had known about before I booked such a short trip to Seoul. I’d absolutely recommend this trip to anyone interested in Korean food and drinks and all the culture and history that’s made it the way it is.
