Lee Bros Winery is a local producer of makgeolli, a Korean traditional rice wine. They are experienced in the art of making makgeolli and has been handcrafting them for the last 17 years with fresh, local ingredients.
Their brand is called Vanmak and unlike factory produced makgeolli typically found in liquor stores, Vanmak is 100% handcrafted and uses fresh Canadian ingredients to create healthy traditional makgeolli rich in lactobacillus.
We were able to try several of their lineup including:
- Citron
- Chestnut – their #1 best seller and has a strong chestnut flavour
- Strawberry – sweet & subtle and made with strawberry puree
- Original
- CheongJu Korean sake (premium) – a clear refined rice wine characterized by its crisp and subtly sweet flavour
They currently have a storefront in Vancouver at 82 Keefer Place, Vancouver where you can find their line up makgeolli. They also offer homestyle to-go food items like kimchi, pork hock, radish as well as frozen foods like pork bone soup; ox bone soup; bulgogi and more.
Their winery is located at 10316 152A Street in Surrey BC. You can also order online at vanmak.ca and they offer delivery.
