Nuoyan Rice Wine Shop

Historians believe rice wine (mijiu) was first brewed by the Chinese in 1,000 BC. The rice wine method then spread from China to other parts of East Asia; in Japan it was made into sake, in Korea, cheongju and makkoli. We'll head to a modern, local boutique mijiu producer to try a six-cup sampler of their craft rice wine. The delightful flavors range from osmanthus to rose to the beguiling original flavor.

A must try food tour in Beijing

Unfortunately, due to flight delays, my sister and I missed about two-thirds of our Old Beijing food tour. Thankfully, Xiaoyan was incredibly kind and accommodating and allowed us to join the group for the final hour and three remaining stops. Even though we only experienced a small portion of the tour, we had such a nice time and really appreciated Xiaoyan’s hospitality. Untour was also very responsive and communicated with me promptly, providing the contact information and details we needed to...read more

A real taste of Beijing!!

Brilliant food tour for the whole family, teens included. We really got a feel for Beijing and its culture, and ended up in little off-the-beaten-path spots we would never have found ourselves. Our guide Rita was lovely, knowledgeable and engaging, and shared lots of Beijing's history along the way. The food was delicious too. Highly recommend!

Incredible food with amazing stories and a friendly guide

Sian met us at the subway station and immediately whisked us away to a small shop where a hot pot feast was already prepared and waiting on us. After that she led us on a three-hour journey of Chinese history and culture told through delicious food and drink -- from yogurt drinks conjuring memories of the Mongol invaders who build modern Beijing to the difference between the northern preference for noodles over the southern taste for rice. Sian was incredible and gave my friends and I a night we...read more
