I joined the “Make Your Own Gin Experience” with my colleagues and it was such a fun and unique activity in Saigon. The workshop was very well organized and easy to follow, even for beginners. We loved choosing botanicals and making our own gin step by step. The team was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. The distillery space is beautiful, and having cocktails in the garden after was the perfect ending. Highly recommended for friends or company groups looking for something different, interactive, and memorable!

Make Your Own Gin – a fun and unique experience

Hanh_N, Feb 2026

I joined the Make Your Own Gin experience at Saigon Baigur Gin's Distillery with my friends and absolutely loved it. We learned about gin and local botanicals, then created our own personalized gin using beautiful copper stills. The space is stylish, the team is friendly and informative, and the whole experience feels relaxed and hands-on. Taking home a custom-made bottle at the end was the perfect touch. Highly recommended for friends, couples, or anyone looking for a unique activity in Saigon 🍸✨

Best afternoon activity for spirit lovers!

I rarely write reviews but here I feel like I really need to! This was just great! The visit itself was kind of short but super interesting and the Saigon Baigur team really took their time - it’s so nice not to feel rushed and to have people actually take the time to answer all the questions (I work in the bar industry so I had LOTS of questions). Of course, what I was most interested in was the actual Gin-making and that was way cooler than I expected. It’s actually a real distillation, allowing you to really make your own stuff. So much fun. I wish I lived here just to be able to come back a few times and create a gin for every special occasion or gift! Thanks to Master Phu and the guide, this was just awesome!

A refined and memorable gin experience

XuanHuong_N, Jan 2026

This gin workshop is a perfect balance between learning and enjoyment. The host explains the gin-making process in a clear, engaging way, from botanicals and aromas to distillation techniques. You don’t just taste gin—you learn how to smell, understand, and appreciate it. The atmosphere is relaxed, well-organized, and suitable even for beginners. A great experience for anyone curious about craft spirits or looking for a unique, memorable activity. Love it ánd introduced to my friends

one of a kind experience!

Phong_L, Jan 2026

One of the highlights of our trip! We learned a lot about gin distillation and Vietnamese ingredients, then got to make our own bottle to take home. The host was friendly and professional, and the whole session was well organized. Perfect for couples or friends who want something different and memorable.

Such a fun and unique...

Tuan_D, Jan 2026

Such a fun and unique experience! The distillery tour was super interesting and the team explained everything clearly. The best part was creating my own gin with different botanicals — it felt personal and exciting. Great cocktails, great vibes, and a beautiful relaxing garden to enjoy after. Highly recommended in Ho Chi Minh City!

Newest experience ever.

ang_N, Jan 2026

Highly recommended for anyone traveling alone and looking for something different in Saigon.

Uyen_L, Jan 2026

I joined as a solo female traveler and I felt completely comfortable from start to finish. The team was super welcoming and explained everything clearly, so even if you don’t know much about gin, you can still enjoy it. The distillery space is beautiful, and making my own gin was such a fun and unique experience! After the workshop, I loved relaxing in the garden with a cocktail. it was calm, green, and really refreshing. Highly recommended for anyone traveling alone and looking for something different in Saigon.

Team Building or Bonding Activities for Corporate

Bicky_N, Jan 2026

It was a truly fascinating experience to see how gin is made, especially with the unique opportunity to personalize and create my own gin at the end of the tour. I had never done anything like this before, and there’s something quite delightful about sipping the gin at home and sharing it with my husband afterward. Even the journey to the distillery was part of the experience—traveling by water taxi and then continuing by car offered me a completely different perspective of Saigon, a city I’ve lived in for years. Saigon Baigur gin really feels like a signature of the city. The team pays great attention to detail, and Phu, the master distiller, was incredibly attentive and patient in answering my questions, as well as those from other guests. The exterior of the distillery evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, while the interior is surprisingly spacious, with equipment that feels impressively serious—perhaps because my only prior experiences were highly commercial whiskey or champagne tastings during my travels in Europe. I’m planning to book this experience for my management team as well. The atmosphere is both relaxing and focused, making it a great option for team building or bonding—an inspiring alternative to conventional office sessions or typical beer-drinking outings.

Fantastic gin making session

Jochem_L, Jan 2026

Great time making my own gin. Phu the host was very helpful and informative and showed us the entire process of gin production. Afterwards we sat down and made our own gin using a small distilling machine. Very nice to end the tour at a bar in a beautiful garden with some free drinks.
