    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.❤️

    Great experience

    This was an amazing experience! Kevin was so nice and great at explaining what to do and how everything works. We made our own gin and tried some of their own which was so good! Highly recommend to visit!

    Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.

    How much does Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.

    Is Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
