Sapawine is run by a wonderful family. They will try whatever they can to make sure you are comfortable, as long as you communicate any issue. The food and wine were great and I had a private room for 7/8 nights.

The work is very reasonable, but if you want more work or less work you can ask for it.

I have nothing to say, really, other than wishing everyone could feel as welcomed as this. This home has become my family, and I couldn't have asked for a better mom for my trip to Vietnam.

I shared a room with a girl who became like a sister to me; we had fun collecting eggs, feeding the fish and swimming with them, and cooking local or Italian dishes together (tiramisu and pizza!!!).

I'll miss you all so much!

Hi con Gái, have you come back to the country yet, or where are you now? For the first time, a girl came to my house and called me mom; I feel very happy. Wishing you peaceful and happy travels. This place is your home when you return to Vietnam. I miss you a lot.

Staying with Ms. Yen was a highlight. She welcomed us into her home with incredible warmth and a true desire to make people happy. Hearing her story and how she started the winery Wine. The experience was wonderfully chill and peaceful, exactly what I needed. I'm so grateful for my fellow volunteers and the quick bond we formed; goodbyes are always bittersweet, but memories last forever! Huge thanks to Ms. Hanh, Ms. Thom, Mr. Hue, and their driver neighbor 😅 for always assisting us. I can't wait to see Ms. Yen's future endeavors. See you in DaNang for sure!

Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience. I enjoyed my stay in a such a picturesque place with amazing people who deeply cared about me.
I barely helped with anything and in return received a lot which honestly made me feel bad sometimes, i wish i could help them more.
In short, this was a gret opportunity for me to experience vietnamese culture and try lots of tasty food!
