Activity itinerary

Step inside the District 9 Distilling Company and discover the home of Saigon Baigur. Follow your guide through the production areas and see the full journey of the production of Saigon Baigur gin. Continue into the workshop, where the hands-on part of your experience begins. Distill your own gin in pairs by selecting ingredients from 18 botanicals and learn how citrus, floral, earthy, and spicy notes shape a balanced gin. You will work as pairs of two on one still and take home a 350ml bottles each or one 700ml bottle of gin together. Sip a complimentary cocktail from the signature menu as your spirit develops. When distillation is complete, bottle your gin and personalize your label. Finish your experience in the garden bar, where a second complimentary cocktail awaits. Relax in the shade until 16:30, when the shuttle bus returns you to the city and drops you off at Thao Dien metro station or book your own taxi. IMPORTAN INFORMATION FOR SINGLE TRAVELERS. Distillation will be done in pairs on one still. Each person will be able to take home their own 350ml bottle. If you would like to work alone on a still and take home a 700ml bottle of gin you will need to buy 2 tickets.
