Land of Kimchi Day 3A
A super overdued post on the Korean trip... oppies... Will try to complete this asap without foodie distraction... I'll try!
Breakfast in a really nice hotel cafe
Wine tunnel
The world’s FIRST persimmon wine cellar!
The Wine Tunnel is the perfect place for aging persimmon wine, which is made by the process of fermenting seedless persimmons, a local specialty of Cheongdo.
The tunnel, located in the middle of a mountain, stays at a temperature of 15 Celsius with 60~70% humidity all year round, making it a naturally refreshing place to visit. The tunnel was originally called “Namseonghyeon Tunnel” and was built back in 1898 during the Joseon Dynasty. The wine cellar as we know it today was created a hundred years ago when persimmon growers put red bricks on the ceiling of the tunnel and reinforced the tunnel walls with natural stone, turning the railroad tunnel into a great wine cellar.
And into the dark, moist tunnel we go.. so refreshingly cool!
I love how they lit up the interior using mini light bulbs...
Beautiful flowers outside
