Little hidden gem - If you are looking for something out of the ordinary tourist spots, this is the place to go. 20 minutes by Grab driver from Hoi An old town you find the litten distillery - don't go by motorbike to be able to test the rum yourself!!! Super nice team. Very personal tour through the whole destillation process. Free welcome drink and a very reasonable tasting! We bought two bottles in the end. ;-)

Hidden gem - Antoine’s passion for his craft is evident as he walks you through the process of making rum from pure Vietnamese sugar cane. Not only do the products use locally-sourced produce, it also supports the surrounding farming community. It’s only a 30-minute drive from Hoi A town, not too far away from Vin Wonders. While not a big fan of liquor, I enjoyed the visit and learned a lot, and possibly discovered a newfound appreciation for rum! A lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

Very cool - Really nice, we received a superb welcome! a very nice visit with a tasting. We especially liked the taste of this rum! Rent a scooter and go there, it's really great. I returned to France and tried a lychee ibiscus rum recommended by some guys there 😉

Looking for a few hours to kill - Great Way To Kill a Hour or Two, Run By Very Nice Couple Of French Guys Who Are Friendly And Very Talented Having Started Off The Distillery Themselves, And You Do a Rhum Tasting At The End. So Don't Ride Your Bike There haha, Highly Recommended

Guided tour & Rhum tasting session - A must-visit that I would highly recommend to my alcoholic friends. My boyfriend and I requested for the tour through facebook as the website is presently iffy. While the distillery is located slightly further away from central Hoi An, it is still accessible - a quick 20 mins drive away. When we arrived, we were greeted by owner Antoine and his puppy. Antoine was hospitable and friendly. He made us a welcome cocktail, before bringing us around his distillery and sharing with us his journey, the distillation process, and some fun facts about rhum vs rum. Thereafter, we had a tasting session where we tried 5 different types of rhum, including his prized aged rhum and the multi-award winning rhum. This experience was truly insightful, yummy, fun, and memorable. Thanks Antoine & we wish you and your partners/team sampan all the success to come!

Authentic and tropical getaway on the beach in Hoi An! - Great estate with a pittoresque traditional armagnac pot still and a beautiful craft plant surrounded by a peaceful tropical garden and a beautiful villa on the beach if you want to stay few days on site. The tour starts with a Vietnamese twisted Mojito served by Jacques the Rhumelier who provides a very technical and friendly introduction of the rhum making process hand in hand with rich historical info about Rhum. A tasting at the Rhum tiki bar of the three white rhums will conclude the tour in a very friendly atmosphere.

not worth it - The value for money, 500,000 VND per person, is poor despite the visit was conducted by knowledgeable people. The tour itself takes 15 minutes, tasting 20 minutes and the rest of the hour is waiting time.
