Interesting to taste so many different flavours of rice wines then we were shown how to make 3 cocktails - and drink them! Good fun & nice friendly guide.
Happy you loved our cocktail class
We had a magical evening, a very warm welcome! Presentation of the different flavors of rice alcohol, then tasting! And the cocktail workshop was perfect for learning the basics! Thanks again!
Merci pour votre commentaire sur notre cocktail classe à Siem Reap. On fut ravi de vous accueillir.
This was a really fun activity to do! The owner Kim is also inspirational. You learn how different rice wines are made with different infusions then enjoy tasting, following by cocktail making. All the bottles are painted individually by local artists who are deaf. They are passionate about creating jobs for the locals. Highly recommend.
Dear Naomi, thank you so much for your review and what a cocktail session we did !
Literally the best rice wines ive ever had! Ive been traveling multiple times in Indochina and i could say that Sombai stands out the most! Everyone is so hospitable, staff explaining everything and the owner is so nice 🥹
Thank you so much for your words
Amazing ! I recommend you go there. Dara was very cheerful and helpful. Siem Reap is a city not to be missed.
Merci pour votre commentaire pour Sombai, Siem Reap et Dara !
Heart was an awesome guide! Very interesting flavors and very cool to see how it’s made. I would definitely recommend trying this!
Thank you so much for your review.
3 cocktail recipes you make there and 11 liquor tastings later - JACKPOT! This couple taught me so much of what they make and the flavors were so good! I love the fact that each bottle is painted by hand. Ans alcoholic jam?! Who knew! It’s definitely worth the evening! So much fun and laughter too!
If you like rice wine, you NEED to try this place. We found it by having some at a local restaurant and I knew I needed to find some to take home. We happened to meet the owner and he was amazing too.
Dear Rick, Thank you so much for visiting us and next time let's do our cocktail class together ;-)
The Sombai cocktail making was a great experience with Joelle and her assistants, who were all very friendly, with Joelle having a vibrant energy and passion for all things Sombai liqueur. The combinations of flavours were wonderful, with my favourite being the banana cinnamon being a lovely flavour. After the tastings we moved to the cocktail making, with Joelle playing a fire soundtrack to accompany the cocktail making. The three cocktails were delicious, with a lot of dancing and new friends made, would highly recommend this tour both for trying the quality product, and the great people you will meet. Shoutout to Allan for becoming our friend from the tour
Dear Ratty, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted that you had a fun and friendly time at Sombai, enjoying our cocktails and music!
