Vietnam’s First-of-Its-Kind Craft Spirits Tasting Experience

What to Expect

Join us for a unique Vietnamese craft spirit tasting at a cozy, hidden café in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, which transforms from a tranquil daytime retreat into a vibrant cocktail hub by night. Led by renowned Vietnamese food writer and blogger Jovel Chan, this exclusive experience offers an insider’s look into Vietnam’s growing craft spirit scene. An English-speaking industry expert will guide you through the spirit-making process, key ingredients, tasting notes, and fascinating stories behind each selection.

Curated by Jovel, the spirits change seasonally to highlight the freshest, most in-season selections, many of which are off-the-market exclusives available only at Saigon Social. You'll sample a diverse range of rare local spirits, including rum, gin, vodka, moonshine, and fruit-infused liqueurs such as dragonfruit, passionfruit, and apricot. The experience concludes with a cocktail-making session, where you’ll craft your own drink using a spirit of your choice. Plus, enjoy an exclusive 10% discount on retail items, cocktails, and snacks.
