Enjoy and "touch" wine culture in Dalat

In addition to the brand story, opening a bottle of wine and raising a glass is also a way for young people to reminisce about memorable moments and memories or simply add spice to a deeper conversation... That is how young people in Da Lat are "touching" wine with the wine drinking culture that is now becoming more "tasteful" and very Da Lat. And that is also the story that The Milla - a small shop specializing in selling wines is building and attracting the love of young people and tourists when coming to Da Lat.

The Milla is a small wine bar located on a quiet corner of Ba Trieu Street, just enough for those who love wine and are looking for a somewhat profound and interesting experience in Da Lat when night falls. In the cozy space of lights in the middle of the foggy street, the small bar seems to soothe the tired heart in the middle of life, or the time to stop the chaotic emotions to find yourself with a glass of wine and a piece of music, or maybe a moment to sit with friends to tell old stories, write new stories in Da Lat.

It can be said that the “soul” of the restaurant is the owner, who is also the one who personally takes care of, mixes, and introduces each type of wine to customers. Listen to the owner tell the story of giving up the attractive job of a flight attendant to return home, to Da Lat, and quietly build the brand The Milla with the desire to bring a new culture, interesting experiences to young people, and bring wine “closer” to them. Ngo Dinh Khanh Hoang, born in 1990, is the owner and also the “narrator” who brings customers closer to the culture of drinking wine and very ordinary stories about Da Lat, so when customers come here, they often call Hoang the “soul” of The Milla. Born and raised in Da Lat, after a long time working in Ho Chi Minh City, in 2022, Hoang decided to return to Da Lat with the desire to do something for his hometown, because his job as a flight attendant helped Hoang approach many cultures from all over the world , and to make Da Lat have a more luxurious culture in the minds of many people about wine enjoyment, Khanh Hoang brought wine closer to young people, to wine connoisseurs while still imbued with Da Lat culture.

Restaurant owner Ngo Dinh Khanh Hoang shares the story of bringing wine closer to young people

Khanh Hoang shared: For the young generation, famous brands with a long history always have a stronger attraction than mass-produced winemakers. For them, the emotional factor always plays an important role in enjoying wine. It is a fact that wine users in Vietnam are getting younger and younger. The young wine enthusiast community in Vietnam is gradually showing how they like to enjoy wine in a genuine way when they start to pay more attention to the taste of wine and describe more specifically how they feel when enjoying wine. They are no longer too concerned about the condition or reputation of the wine bottle they are using. Now, the genuine taste of wine and a genuine passion are what young wine lovers aim for. In drinking wine, they simply want to be more open to learn more, feel more and experience more about wine.

In the cozy small space, the host and guests seem to have no distance because of the way they talk about wine, about their own stories, about the bumps in life, the flavors that life has brought as well as the astringent and sweet taste of wine. At The Milla, there are currently over 300 bottles of wine with many world-famous brands, and according to the "connoisseurs" in Da Lat, if you want to buy rare and hard-to-find wines, this is also a reliable address.

Guests chat and enjoy the inspiring stories that the owner brings about wine culture.

When asked about his feelings, a customer from Ho Chi Minh City, NP Duy, also commented that the shop is small but very neat in the decoration, music , and even the type of glass used to drink wine, showing that the owner's heart is devoted to this passion. Not only simply selling wine, but there is also a cultural space here, very tasteful, cute like the way Da Lat leaves an impression on visitors - gentle but calm, peaceful and makes people remember it every time they think about it. Choosing a good bottle of wine is difficult, choosing a good bottle of wine for those who have "always loved wine" is many times more difficult. A perfect bottle of wine not only brings a wonderful taste experience but also lies in the emotions it brings. Wine lovers always feel connected to a certain bottle of wine in their life. And The Milla brings almost all of that.

Nowadays, access to natural wine has become easier when connoisseurs can enjoy a glass of natural wine without having to understand too much about wine knowledge. Instead of having to master specialized knowledge, the special thing in enjoying natural wine lies in the very unique stories of each bottle of wine, along with the personality of the natural winemaker described very specifically in each sip of wine. The feeling of enjoying natural wine has now become less rigid, less sophisticated but full of improvisation.

Drinking wine and checking in at a small, pretty shop on a street corner in Da Lat has become an additional choice for young people, tourists, and those who love Da Lat and wine.
