A guide for people who care about what’s in the glass - find here a guide to the best wine bars & wine list in Vietnam. Vietnam is not the first country people mention when they talk about wine. But if you spend enough nights here, something interesting happens. You discover small dining rooms where the sommelier opens a bottle they’ve been waiting to share. You stumble into wine bars where Jura or Etna appears by the glass. You sit down in a beachside resort and realize someone actually built a proper cellar. A quiet network of chefs, sommeliers and obsessives has been building a real wine culture across the country. This guide is for the places where that energy lives. Not the longest wine lists. Not the fanciest dining rooms. Just the rooms where wine is treated with curiosity, generosity and taste. Saigon Where Vietnam’s wine scene feels most alive. MAD Wine Bar If there is one wine bar in Vietnam that people in the trade talk about with genuine affection, it is MAD. Run by Camilla, Casper and Mary, the place hums every night with the easy chaos of a good wine bar. Bottles are shared between tables, the music creeps up as the evening unfolds, and the list constantly evolves. The wines are serious. The atmosphere is not. Which is exactly why people keep coming back. Lua Lua manages the delicate balance between restaurant and wine bar with real finesse.

Long before the current wave of wine bars appeared, the hotel quietly built one of the most serious cellars in the country. Behind it is sommelier Thanh, widely respected in the Vietnamese wine community for both his technical knowledge and his calm, precise service. His selections balance classic regions with bottles that reward curiosity, and the list is deep enough to satisfy collectors as well as guests simply looking for the right wine with dinner.

Together with the beverage direction led by David , the restaurants offer a pairing of vibrant food and approachable wines across their many locations in Vietnam.

A Wine Tour with Glouglou Wines Across Hanoi, Saigon and Da Nang At the end of January, Glouglou Wines welcomed Hugues Laborde in Vietnam for a special tour dedicated to introducing his wines to sommeliers, chefs and wine lovers across the country. Over the course of a few days, the Bordeaux winemaker traveled from Hanoi to Saigon and Da Nang , sharing his wines through professional tastings, wine dinners and intimate gatherings with the Vietnamese wine community. It was an opportunity not only to taste the wines, but also to hear directly from the winemaker about the philosophy behind his work. Hanoi – Meeting the Wine Professionals The tour began in Hanoi on January 26 with a professional tasting organized together with Vin Hoi . This event brought together sommeliers, wine buyers and hospitality professionals from the capital to discover Hugues Laborde’s wines and discuss the evolution of Bordeaux today. The following day, January 27 , the program continued with a lunch tasting hosted with Nomura Unisson , creating another opportunity to present the wines in a more intimate setting and exchange ideas with partners from the industry. Saigon – Wine Dinner and Trade Tasting The tour then moved to Ho Chi Minh City . On January 28 , a wine dinner was hosted at Pickles , where guests enjoyed a special menu paired with Hugues Laborde’s wines. The evening allowed diners to experience the wines at the table, in the context they are truly meant for. The next day, January 29 , professionals gathered again for a dedicated tasting at Tales by Chapter , one of Saigon’s most exciting wine focused venues. This tasting offered sommeliers and buyers a deeper look into the wines and the different cuvées produced by Hugues Laborde. Da Nang – Two Final Celebrations The final part of the tour took place in Da Nang , where the wines are already well loved among local wine enthusiasts. On January 31 , a wine dinner was held at Westwood , bringing together guests for an evening of food, wine and conversation with the winemaker. The tour concluded on February 1 with the Brunch Vigneron at Gụ Wine Bistro , a relaxed gathering where guests enjoyed the wines alongside brunch dishes in a lively and convivial atmosphere. Wine Dinner in Westwood Da Nang was a big success! Sharing Bordeaux with Vietnam Throughout the tour, the wines of Hugues Laborde were presented across a wide range of formats: professional tastings, wine dinners and casual moments around the table. For Glouglou Wines, these encounters are essential. They allow professionals and wine lovers in Vietnam to connect directly with the people behind the bottles, understand the philosophy of the wineries we work with, and experience the wines in their natural setting: at the table. Looking Ahead The visit of Hugues Laborde marks another step in the mission of Glouglou Wines : bringing authentic producers to Vietnam and creating meaningful encounters between winemakers and the local wine community. We thank all our partners in Hanoi, Saigon and Da Nang who helped make this tour possible. More events, tastings and wine dinners will follow soon.

Glouglou Wines Announces New Import and Wine Dinner in Da Nang At Glouglou Wines we are always searching for producers who work with precision, authenticity, and a strong sense of terroir. This spring we are excited to announce that Paul Granier’s wines will soon arrive in Vietnam through Glouglou Wines. To celebrate the arrival of these bottles, we will host a special wine dinner with the winemaker at Gụ Wine Bistro in Da Nang . A New Generation of Languedoc Winemakers Paul Granier represents a new generation of French producers who combine deep respect for tradition with a precise, modern approach to winemaking. Born into a family of winegrowers, Granier developed his passion early and later expanded his knowledge through the OIV master program , where he explored vineyards across more than twenty six countries. His professional journey took him to Burgundy, where he spent several years working at Maison Lucien Le Moine , one of the most respected names in élevage and fine wine craftsmanship. He later continued his training with Laurent Charvin in Châteauneuf du Pape , refining his understanding of whole cluster fermentation and long aging. In 2022, Granier launched his own small wine house in the Languedoc , focusing on extremely small production wines from old vines and exceptional parcels. The philosophy is simple. Old vines. Great terroirs. Slow élevage. Tiny quantities. Each wine is vinified with whole clusters and aged for around twenty months in demi muids before bottling without fining or filtration. Parcel Wines from the Languedoc Granier’s wines focus on individual vineyard sites, revealing the diversity of the Languedoc landscape. Among the cuvées soon arriving in Vietnam through Glouglou Wines are: Les Grandes Garrigues Produced from old vine Piquepoul planted on limestone soils in the Hérault, this wine brings unexpected depth and texture to the grape. Notes of apricot, lemon peel and wild herbs combine with a saline finish that reflects the Mediterranean terroir. Les Lignières Rouge A red wine dominated by Grenache from very old vines. Fermented with whole clusters and aged for twenty months, it offers elegant red fruit, garrigue herbs and a savory finish that pairs beautifully with roasted meats and bistro dishes. Production remains extremely small, often around one thousand bottles per cuvée , making these wines particularly rare outside France. Wine Dinner with the Winemaker at Gụ Wine Bistro To introduce Paul Granier’s wines to the Vietnamese wine community, Glouglou Wines will host a special wine dinner with the winemaker at Gụ Wine Bistro in Da Nang . Guests will enjoy an intimate evening where four wines are paired with four dishes , carefully designed by the kitchen to highlight the character of each cuvée. More importantly, the winemaker himself will guide the tasting and share the story behind the vineyards, the philosophy and the vintages. For wine lovers in Vietnam, this is a rare opportunity to discover these wines directly from the person who created them. Event Details Wine Dinner with Paul Granier Hosted by Glouglou Wines Location Gụ Wine Bistro – Da Nang Date Thursday March 19 Time 7 PM Four wines Four dishes Price 1,400,000 VND net per person Seats are limited and reservations are recommended. Gu Wine Bistro in Da Nang Paul Granier Wines Coming Soon to Vietnam Following the event, Paul Granier’s wines will soon become available in Vietnam through Glouglou Wines , for restaurants, wine bars and private collectors looking for authentic, terroir driven bottles. At Glouglou Wines we believe great wines should tell a story. Paul Granier’s wines tell the story of the Languedoc today: vibrant landscapes, old vines, and a new generation of winemakers shaping the future of the region. We are proud to bring these wines to Vietnam.
