Man kann verschiedene Arten des Reisweines verkosten und lernt so über diese Tradition Korea auch besser kennen. Insgesamt sehr kurzweilig und ebenso für Leute, die kaum Alkohol trinken, sehr interessant.

You get a full tour and able to ask all the questions you have about how they make the alcohol. You then get to try 3 different % of drink along with some side food options that compliment it. Great time, met some great people and would defiantly recommend", "d": "Mar 2026", "i": null},{"p": "GetYourGuide", "r": 5, "n": "Julius W.", "t": "The tour was fun and informative.
