After taking off your shoes, a short set of steep stairs will take to up to the maceration room, located in a characteristic typical houses in Cambodia. Once there, you will get to see more than a hundred glass jars full of local fruits, such as mango, banana, coconut, pineapple, lemon, tamarind and orange, herbs such as lemongrass and green tea, spices including anise seed, cinnamon, ginger, galangal and chili, all soaking in the alcohol until the maceration is completed. You will be amazed at the colour of the infused alcohol that changes with time, and how the fruits evolve along the weeks.

Offered, along with a bottle of cold water, are local snacks composed of taro chips, banana chips, cashew nuts or flavoured peanuts to accompany your drinks. Once you have chosen your favorite flavour, feel free to shop around if you wish to bring back a unique souvenir (no obligation).

Really enjoyed this little adventure , tuk tuk pickup and to cocktail making class, very friendly and a bit of fun making our own cocktails using the infused liqueurs and fresh ingredients . Tuk tuk then to where they make the liqueurs for a tour and tasting , friendly and not pushy at all . We selected some products and the tuk tuk driver took us back to hotel to drop off our purchases and then dropped us in town.
Terrific. In depth instruction on ingredients and how to treat them. One group choice of cocktail then one individual choice. The tour of Sombai afterwards was interesting.
Had a great time and learned a lot!
The class is amazing. Though the guide arrived a little bit and we were a little bit nervous while this is our first trial in viator. We really enjoyed the sombai cocktail class and the bar environment was stunning. We just sat and relaxed for drinks. It would be great if we can stayed there a little longer. The liqueur tasting was interesting. The little factory is small. It would be great if there would be more explanation on how to make the liqueur.
