What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Sim Wine Factory offers a unique taste of Phu Quoc with its rose myrtle wine, making it a potential spot for distinctive gifts. However, experiences with customer service can be inconsistent, with some finding it minimal or even unpleasant, and there are occasional concerns about bottle volume accuracy.
"Even though it was open, No one was in the store. After waiting for 10 minutes, the owner finally came over without even greeting us. We asked about the different types of alcohol available and whether we could taste some before buying them as gifts. After some hesitation, she let us try one wine—without any explanation—and then carried on as if we weren’t there, tidying up merchandise and staring at us. Overall, she was very unpleasant and unprofessional. If you want to learn more about Vietnamese wines, I strongly recommend going elsewhere."

"Went on vacation to Phu Quoc. I love wine and was suprised to find a local store. I tasted the wine, the liquor and somthing else. I bought two bottles of wine because my baggage was already full. I definitiv would've bought more. The wine has a uniqu taste and was absolutly delicous"
Pascal Brogsitter
"I bought the 14% fig wine and poured the entire 750 ml bottle into two 350 ml empty water bottles with nothing leftover in the bottle. If you give only 700 ml per wine bottle, you should state so instead of misinforming your customers."
