🍳 From Soil to Spoon: Your Itinerary

The Market Hunt Your guide will meet you at your hotel to begin your escape. First stop: the village market. This is a sensory explosion where you’ll buy the chickens, ducks, and seasonal vegetables needed for your meal while learning about the herbs that define Vietnamese cuisine.

The Farm & Kitchen After a brief introduction to the family farm—and perhaps a bit of garden work—it’s time to cook. You’ll learn the delicate balance of “sweet, sour, salty, and spicy” that makes Hanoi’s food world-famous.

The Feast Sit down with your hosts to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Relax with a cold local beer or a tasting of local wine as you celebrate a day of hard work and great food.
