About

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.

Experience Vietnam’s craft spirit revolution in an intimate, expert-led tasting session.

"Fantastic Craft Spirit Tasting & Cozy Café Vibes"

If you love spirits and cocktails, look no further! This is an incredible tasting experience that showcases a variety of proud Vietnamese local products. It was so much fun! Jovel was engaging, knowledgeable about spirits, and is well-versed in Saigon’s modern dining scene. I can’t believe you can get something this amazing for such a great price, absolutely worth every penny and minute!

"A Must-Try Alcohol Tasting Experience in HCMC!"

Attended the alcohol tasting event, sampled tasty gin, sake, rum, fruit liquor etc from all over Vietnam. Fun experience! Worth coming if you’re visiting hcmc or have lived here for a while and are looking for something new to do. .. Lovely little hidden gem up a flight of stairs from Mamapho, right next to Bitexco in the heart of district 1! Perfect spot for a cup of coffee - they’ve many Vietnam inspired offerings and also have coffee/alcohol tasting menus. Enjoyed my americano and came by for a matcha another time. Will be back again for a full tasting experience!

"We had a really fun experience with Sip Sip Saigon!"

The host and owner, Jovel, provided a unique perspective to Vietnamese cocktail culture and how it’s evolving. We got to try spirits made in Vietnam and hear about how the past/tradition is mixing with the present to create really unique flavors of spirits that perfectly represent Vietnam. Would definitely recommend and look forward to doing this again and seeing how many more local makers have entered the scene should we make it back to Ho Chi Minh City.
