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.

Must-do experience with great guide!
chloewL5263JP, October 2026
My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time on this tour! Such an interesting way to spend an evening, especially because our guide was so entertaining and informative. I don't remember her name but she was a Beijing native and schoolteacher---incredible tourguide. One of the highlights of our trip. All the food was fantastic and neither of us got sick (very important to me, as I am rather enthusiastic about food safety). Highly recommend doing this early in your Beijing trip so that you can go back to all these places again and get more food, like we did :)

A great way to experience Beijing hutong's hidden gems
achenners, September 2026
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 than this!
Response from the operator · Jamie B
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
775jimmie, September 2026
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 highly recommend the UnTour Old Beijing food tour with Sian!
Response from the operator · Jamie B
Hi Jay, thank you for the amazing review! We’re honored to hear this was your favorite among the many food tours you’ve taken. Thanks for spending the evening exploring Beijing’s food, history, and hutongs with Sian.

A great evening in Beijing
OllieRoberts14, September 2026
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.
Response from the operator · Jamie B
Hi Ollie, thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you had a great evening exploring the hutongs with Xiaoyan and enjoyed the spots along the way. We appreciate the feedback on the selection of dishes as well. Thanks for joining us!
