1st FamTour- Soomy Village & Sanmeoru Winery

Finally, the wait is over and my frist famtour in Korea had started.

The first destination- Soomy Village (365 days of Festival)

Away from the bustling city, the Soomy Village is a great place to rejuvenate and at the same time, tons of fun and excitement.

1) Making of Korea Steamed Bun

It was unbelievable that for someone like me who doesn't know how to cook,could actually make it! With a few simple steps starting with kneading the dough,putting the red bean paste in it and DANG DANG! It is dong
What so surprise how much it swells up and how delicious it is.

Do come to Soomy village and try this, best thing, you can TABAO back home too:D

We went to a nearby river and begin to engage with the nature by tossing stone.

2) Harvesting Sweet PotatoBe a farmer and harvest your sense of fulfillment here!

고구마GOGUMA,which in korean means sweet potato is one of my favourite! My favourite drink: the sweet potato latte, a must try in south korea! Living in a city for all my life, it is my first experience harvesting a sweet potato! Had an enjoyable time meeting a very nice farmer who has telepathy with all his sweet potatoes. once he start digging, all the gigantic sweet potatoes just appear instantly.

Not alot of sweat is needed, only alot of funs and excitement! The sense of fulfillment achived when you saw the sweet potatoes,even if it is a puny one,
Also, you can TABAO the sweet potatoes you harvested!

STEP 1) get ready your tools

Step 2: Learn from the Master

Step 3) Just do it!

Step 4: TABAO IT!(Tabao means takeaway)

Bringing you tons of thrilled and excitement both on land and in water!

7) Wine Tasting♥

We tried 2 types of wine, the dry and the sweet one! I personally love the dry wine:D A bottle of wine is around 15,000won.

However, my favourite will be their grape juice, no alcohol at all! I felt in love with it upon trying and end up becoming like an aunty ,getting it over and over again!

Beside those 2 kinds of wine, what surprise me is that they sells wild grape brandy(48,000won)!
