Wine, Distilleries, Breweries and Beverages

Vietnam's beverage industry is a fascinating blend of ancient tradition and modern innovation, offering a wide range of wines, spirits and beers that reflect the country's cultural diversity and innovative spirit.

Alcohol: Although Vietnam’s wine industry is relatively new, it is quickly gaining recognition, especially in the central highlands of Da Lat. The region’s cool climate and fertile soil create ideal conditions for growing grapes, producing wines that are highly regarded for their quality. Visitors can enjoy vineyard tours, wine tastings, and learn more about the winemaking process from local winemakers.

Distillery: Vietnam is famous for its traditional liquors, including rice wine, corn wine, can wine, cassava wine, and many others, each with cultural and historical significance. Rice wine, made from fermented sticky rice, is a staple of Vietnamese celebrations. Modern distillation technology is used to produce clear, pure liquors, which are then infused with a variety of fruits sourced from around the country. The diverse climates of the Central and South Central regions produce fruits such as Myrtle, Vinh orange, Ninh Thuan grapes, and Da Lat strawberries. The tropical savanna climate of the South Central Coast and southern regions provides fruits such as grapefruit, durian, coconut, and mangosteen. Distillery tours provide insight into the traditional production methods and cultural stories behind these unique beverages.

Brewery: Vietnam’s beer culture is thriving, with a mix of established local brands and emerging craft beer trends. Popular beers like Bia Saigon and Bia Hanoi are widely available, while cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are becoming hubs for craft beer innovation. Microbreweries and tasting rooms offer innovative brews that incorporate local flavors and ingredients. Brewery tours and tastings give you a deeper understanding of the art of beer making in Vietnam.
