Uncork Vietnam's rum legacy, led by craft master.
This isn’t your typical distillery tour. On this intimate 2-hour experience, you'll meet the actual maker of Vietnam's award-winning craft rum and get behind-the-scenes access to how it's made — from start to sip. Unlike other tasting experiences, this one is personally led by the distiller himself and capped at just 8 people, so you'll get plenty of face time and a chance to ask all your burning questions.  If you're the kind of traveller who loves to dive deeper into local flavours and meet the people behind them, this is for you. It's not just about sipping rum — you’ll learn the full story of how this craft spirit came to be, straight from the person who created it. Perfect for foodies, spirit enthusiasts, or anyone curious about Vietnam’s thriving craft scene.  Set in a small-batch distillery, this tour is a great way to skip the crowds, support a passionate local maker, and try something you won’t find on standard tourist trails. Come thirsty for knowledge (and rum!). What to Expect Meet the award-winning maker behind Vietnam's standout rum Get exclusive access to the distillery with a step-by-step walkthrough of the rum-making process Enjoy a guided tasting of 3 unique Vietnamese craft rums Engaging host who shares insights, stories, and makes the whole experience fun and easy to follow Small group size (max 8 people) keeps things personal and relaxed Both sparkling and still water included to keep your palate refreshed Good to Know This is a join-in experience with a minimum of 4 guests to run Transport to the distillery isn’t included — make sure to plan your journey in advance Wear something comfy — you’ll be standing and moving around a bit Arrive on time so you don't miss the initial briefing and intro Tips and additional drinks are not included, so do bring some cash
