Local Leisure Tour — Yuet Wo Sauce Garden 3.0

About

Founded in 1945 by the Pong family from Foshan, Guangdong, Yuet Wo is one of Hong Kong's last surviving traditional sauce gardens with over 80 years of heritage. It is the only sauce garden in Hong Kong that owns its own wine-steaming facility, producing a full range of naturally brewed soy sauces, vinegars, wines, and condiments entirely in-house — a rarity in today's industrialised food landscape. Now led by its third-generation successor Jack, Yuet Wo has managed to strike a balance between preserving time-honoured brewing techniques and adapting to modern demands. The factory's sun-drying yard, where sauces are left to ferment and mature under natural sunlight, remains a centrepiece of its traditional production process. With land resumption looming over the factory site, this may be one of the last opportunities to experience Yuet Wo's iconic production floor up close. As part of the 'Local Leisure Tour' series, this guided visit invites participants to walk through the sauce garden's production line, learn about the history of Hong Kong's soy sauce industry, and hear the story of how one family has kept this craft alive across generations. Each participant will receive a complimentary Yuet Wo sauce product. Previous editions of the tour have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the public, selling out quickly and drawing participants keen to connect with authentic Hong Kong food culture before it disappears.
