What to expect
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind tasting experience that delves into the heart of Vietnam’s craft spirit scene.
For this experience, we partnered with Về Để Đi craft alcohol distillery and Ministry, a hidden bar in Hanoi known for its signature cocktail creations. Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed with a special drink and seated in a private room where our expert will guide you through the story behind each spirit, local ingredients sourced for their production, and tasting notes.
After tasting each of 4 craft spirits, the Ministry's mixologists will prepare a cocktail based on them and our curator will share the story behind it. We specifically crafted the cocktail menu to allow our drinks to highlight the tasting notes of the liquors used in them.

Reviews
This was my favourite workshop I've done in Vietnam. Hands down. Quan is incredibly knowledgeable, showcasing a stunning new world of Vietnamese spirits and cocktails. His brand, VeDeDi is without a doubt some of the best craft spirits in Vietnam. As if she sheer range of products wasn't already impressive enough being an independent distillery, the taste of the products we were able to try- both by themselves and in cocktails- were explosively tasty. Being able to chat with Quan and the Melia Hotel bartenders in such an intimate setting opened my eyes as a cocktail bartender myself to what a craft it truly is. Even after the worshop was over, my friend and I were given recommendations to some of the best restaurants and bars in Vietnam. In Australia, you'd easily be paying double or triple the price of what this workshop was- it's insane value for money.
