Fantastic gin experience

If you like gin, then you must do this tour! The host, Kevin, is also the master distiller. After explaining the distillation process and checking out some of the ingredients, they let you loose on making your own gin. Don’t worry, they provide you with a baseline recipe to get you started. There’s also a bunch of gins to taste and cocktails included. A+++

Wonderful Gin Distillery Tour at D9

Had an absolutely wonderful time at the distillery! Phu/Kevin showed me around, explained all the processes and helped with the gin making process as well. He whips up some great cocktails and has amazing insight as the master distiller at D9! The house gins were fabulous and the Mekong Dangerous liqueur is definitely a must try. I was lucky to have the tour all by myself on a weekday haha. Kudos to the team at the distillery and hope to visit them again soon :)

Great Lesson In Gin Making

Kevin is the host and he is friendly, humorous and very knowledgeable about gin making and botanicals. The venue is beautiful and it’s interesting to be at the distillery and to hear how the business developed. The gin making room is modern with some retro features and everything is set up for you. You are guided through the process and have the opportunity to ask questions as you create your own gin. The lesson runs at a nice pace and is not rushed. I’d suggest you eat breakfast because there are cocktails to be drunk and different gins to sample. All very tasty and different. The packaging of the products is beautiful and it’s very satisfying to take home your own gin. A great afternoon - thank you, Kevin.❤️

Best experience in vietnam saigon

Its really worth it especially for the price!! They have so much alcohol to offer for free and you have 2 cocktails for free available each person!! The process of making gin on your own is incredible. The staff are also welcoming and very friendly. They are always there whenever you need help or anything

Great workshop

Went for a family birthday. Had a warm welcome and tour of the distillery but the head distiller. Then spent a few hours making our own personal gins from scratch. Great to have 2 cocktails included to try their gins while we go the workshop. Highly recommend doing this fun activity.
