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 great way to experience Beijing hutong's hidden gems

I had a great time exploring the Beijing hutongs with Ruofan! She took us through the hutongs and made sure we were well taken care of at every stop. She also took the time to explain each dish we tried, which added a nice personal touch to the experience. The tour was a fun blend of delicious local eats and atmospheric spots, including a cozy stop for some rice wine. I also loved the pacing between savory and sweet. There’s really no better way to experience Beijing’s food and neighborhoods tha...read more

Response from ViatorOctober 03, 2026

Hi there, thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring the hutongs with Ruofan. It sounds like the rice wine and the balance between savory and sweet hit the spot. Thanks for joining us!

Great experience

Had a great experience with Sian at the Old Beijing food tour. I was the only booking that day, and Sian carried out the full tour with an endless amount of enthusiasm. I enjoyed learning about the historical and culture significance of both the food and surrounding Hutongs. I also went back to the mijiu bar at the end of my trip to pick up some gifts for family and friends. I've done many food tours over the years, and this was the one I enjoyed the most. Thank you very much Sian. I would h...read more

A great evening in Beijing

Really good tour, especially the guiding from Xiaoyan! We had a great evening and enjoyed visiting some really cool spots. The tour is focused on Old Beijing and has some great spots in the Hutongs. Not all the stops were necessarily traditional Beijing dishes.

Amazing Experience!!!

I am very well traveled (over 30 countries) and have done food tours and cooking classes all over the world so I’ve encountered quite a range of good to not so great experiences while “chasing food” and I would say that this food tour ranks among the most enjoyable and well put together food experiences across any that I can remember in the last 25 years - delightfully unpredictable or unpredictably delightful would be my caption. We spent the evening with Jesus and not only was he engaging an...read more
