Discover why kimchi is at the heart of Korean cuisine and experience it through tasting, cooking, and perfectly matched Korean drinks.
Your experience begins with a guided kimchi tasting led by your host, a former wine bar owner and certified sommelier. Rather than simply tasting kimchi, you'll explore how different ingredients, fermentation periods, and regional traditions create completely different flavours and aromas.
Taste four distinctive varieties of kimchi:
Traditional cabbage kimchi(Baechu Kimchi)
White kimchi (Baek Kimchi)
Radish kimchi (Kkakdugi)
Mustard kimchi(Gatkimchi)
As you taste each one, you'll learn when Koreans eat them, how fermentation changes their character, and why each pairs differently with food and drinks.
Next, step into the kitchen and prepare three of Korea's most beloved kimchi dishes using fresh seasonal ingredients:
• Crispy Kimchi Pancake (Kimchi Jeon)
• Kimchi Stir-fried Rice
• Refreshing White Kimchi Noodles
Throughout the cooking session, your host shares practical cooking techniques, cultural stories, and tips that you can easily recreate at home.
Finally, gather around the table to enjoy everything you've cooked together. Your meal is accompanied by carefully selected Korean rice wines (Makgeolli), personally paired by your sommelier to complement each dish and highlight the diverse flavours of kimchi.
More than a cooking class, this is a complete introduction to Korea's most iconic food—through taste, tradition, and the joy of sharing a meal together.
