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!).
