Taste the Nation’s Favorite Drink

Enjoy a delightful evening tasting the country’s speciality drink, Soju, at a local distillery. Discover your favourite flavour from a delicious variety of fruity options, including peach, blueberry, and grapefruit - you'll impress the locals by ordering their favourite drink at the bar! This mixture of diluted ethanol and artificial sweetener is a key part of Korean hospitality and social interactions, playing an integral role in traditional holidays and rituals for centuries. But just how popular is it? Well, on average, a Korean consumes 53 bottles of Soju each year! Once the preferred spirit of the noble class during the Joseon dynasty, Samhae Soju has transformed into a luxury drink, boasting a devoted following thanks to its closely guarded secret recipe passed down through generations of one family. 

South Korea Under the Stars

Witness the city’s sights illuminated against the night sky, for an enchanting nighttime experience. Visit the grand Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, which were built to commemorate the victory of Silla and later served as a recreational area for the royal family. The palace is particularly popular with locals who visit in the evening to see the traditional structure lit up, radiating with an almost magical essence and offering an enchanting perspective compared to daytime visits.

Walk along the impressive Woljeonggyo Bridge, originally built during the Unified Silla period. Although it was burned down during the Joseon dynasty, it was rebuilt in 2018 and has become the largest wooden bridge in Korea. At night, the bright yellow lights reflect beautifully in the water, creating a postcard-worthy sight that you won't want to miss. Be sure to have your cameras ready, as the palace and bridge take on a stunning charm after dark, making for an unmissable visual delight. 

Taste the Culture 

Discover the rich flavours of Korean cuisine during an authentic cooking class, learning the culinary secrets of local delicacies. Korean dishes are a major aspect of the nation’s identity, and the world is finally catching up to their savoury, hearty, and nutritious qualities - with just a hint of spice.

Learn to make bulgogi, a barbecue beef and rice dish that perfectly balances sweet, savoury, and umami flavours without any heat. As one of Korea’s favourite dishes, bulgogi is a real crowd-pleaser that is quickly becoming well-known globally. You’ll leave with the recipe in hand, ready to impress your friends and family back home.

Additionally, you'll enjoy a delightful array of side dishes that typically accompany meals in South Korea while focusing your expertise on the main dish. Once everything is cooked, join your fellow sous chefs as you savour your mouthwatering creations alongside other South Korean specialities.
