When distillation is complete, bottle your gin and personalize your label. Finish your experience in the garden bar, where a second complimentary cocktail awaits.

Great Lesson In Gin Making
Susan K,Jun 30, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Kevin 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.❤️
Great experience

5.00Went 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.
Unique “Create Your Gin” experience
JHque35,Mar 25, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Tried the “Create Your Gin” experience at District 9 Distilling Company (Saigon Baigur) and it turned out to be a really fun and refreshing activity. You get to craft your own gin from scratch by choosing botanicals and learning about the distillation process along the way. It was both educational and hands on, which made the whole experience more memorable than a typical tasting session. It is a great activity to do with friends. We had a good time experimenting and comparing our different creations, all with guidance from a friendly and knowledgeable team. If you are looking for something different to do in Saigon beyond the usual food and cafe hopping, this is definitely worth trying.
Awesome gin making experience and very friendly

5.00Absolutely loved our visit to the distillery. They make reserve gins every New Year that are sensational. We also got a chance to make our own! We added spice to our private label gin!
Make Your Own Gin – a fun and unique experience

5.00I 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 activity for Spirits lovers!

5.00I 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!
Best afternoon activity for spirit lovers!
