Vietnam's Best Flavors - Market Tour, Cooking Class & Homemade Wine Tasting
We warmly welcome vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians. Kindly let us know in advance if you have any dietary preferences or restrictions. Under the guidance of our cultural storyteller, you’ll be hands-on in preparing each dish—from start to finish. Along the way, you’ll uncover unique insights into Vietnamese culture and culinary traditions, along with practical cooking tips you can easily recreate at home. The experience takes place in our charming villa, thoughtfully designed to create a warm, intimate setting for cooking and cultural exchange.
Our classes are held in two charming French-style villas, each surrounded by lush gardens. Together, they can comfortably host up to 80 guests.

What's included in Vietnam's Best Flavors - Market Tour, Cooking Class & Homemade Wine Tasting
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Have fun at our cooking class and bring back an Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine. Surprise your family and friends at home as an amazing souvenir from Vietnam. In a cozy Viet-style villa, with more than 30 year-old flower trellis, our kitchen is a warm place for all food lovers to have fun and learn more about Vietnamese culture through making famous dishes. Our small classes (1-10 people) are operated in a traditional Viet-style kitchen, where we cook together like local families. We will bring you to a cultural hub with cooking activities but not a professional cooking school, so it is not necessary to be skillful. The class starts with the market tour. Then we will learn 4 main recipes and enjoy what you cook by yourself. Hand-on dish preparation is one of our highlights. Don’t worry if you prefer a vegetarian/vegan meal, veggie versions are available! Please specify if you have any special requests/ food allergies/ dietary restrictions so that we can adjust an appropriate menu. Full-color cooking books sent to your email after class will make you enjoy cooking at home and remind you of the time that you have spent in our kitchen.
