Buvez comme un local : Goûtez aux Spiritueux Chinois Traditionnels

I booked this Chinese baijiu experience on Viator while visiting Shanghai, and it was absolutely brilliant. As a European used to Western spirits, I knew little about baijiu before. The host explained its history and flavours clearly, and we got to try several authentic varieties in a relaxed small‑group setting. Well‑organised, friendly and very insightful. A great way to discover real Chinese drinking culture. Highly recommend!

I had absolutely no idea what to expect going in, and that made it all the more special. This tasting session covers an impressive range of Chinese spirits — from rice wine and yellow wine to baijiu in light, strong, and sauce aroma styles — including a pour of the legendary Moutai. But what really sets this apart is that it's not just a drinking session; it's a genuine window into Chinese culture. Jade and her husband are warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the stories behind each spirit. We learned about banquet customs, traditional drinking games, toast etiquette, and the deep social significance of drinking in China. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate, and the group size was small enough to feel personal. I came for the baijiu and left with a whole new appreciation for how Chinese people build trust and relationships. Highly recommended for solo travelers, couples, and even corporate groups. One of the most unique and memorable experiences I had in Shanghai!

I had an amazing time at the small gathering tasting a variety of Chinese wines and spirits! From the smooth baijiu to the fragrant rice wine and fruit wines, every drink offered a unique and authentic flavor. It was a fantastic cultural experience, and I loved learning about the different brewing traditions. Highly recommended for anyone curious about Chinese drinking culture!

This was such an interesting experience! I got to sample a wide variety of Chinese liquors, and each one had its own background and story which made the tasting much more memorable. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the activity. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and I learned a lot while still having a great time. Definitely something I would recommend trying with friends.
