Discover Vietnam’s emerging craft spirit scene in this one-of-a-kind tasting experience, held in a hidden private bar right in the heart of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
Led by passionate local experts, including Vietnamese food writer and Travel + Leisure SEA Tastemaker Jovel Chan, and Phuong Maxy, Vietnam’s first wine blogger, this guided tasting offers rare access to some of the country’s most exciting small-batch spirits.
You’ll sample a curated selection of Vietnamese craft spirits—from gin, rum, and whiskey to fruit-infused liqueurs like dragonfruit, passionfruit, and apricot. Many of these spirits are seasonal, exclusive, and not widely available on the market.
