Cooking Class Hoi An - Organic Garden - Farming Tour-Handicrafts

About this tour

This 3–4 hour class in Caman village combines cooking instruction with a working organic farm visit. You'll prepare 3–4 traditional dishes alongside local cooks using vegetables and herbs picked that morning, then brew herbal remedies in the garden. The experience unfolds in a homestay-style space where you learn not just recipes but the reasoning behind Vietnamese flavour combinations, finishing with folk games and a participation certificate.

Highlights

• Harvest and cook with same-day organic produce from the garden
• Prepare 3–4 traditional Vietnamese dishes under chef guidance
• Learn medicinal herb benefits and brew your own herbal drink
• Play traditional folk games with villagers
• Take home a personalised cooking booklet and certificate

What to expect

You'll arrive at a family compound in Caman village designed like a local home, complete with a functional kitchen and garden plots. After a welcome drink, the chef walks you through selecting ripe vegetables and aromatic herbs, explaining their roles in classic dishes. Hands-on cooking follows—chopping, mixing, and tasting as you build each plate. Midway, you'll stroll the garden beds, learning which plants aid digestion or immunity. Before leaving, you'll blend and bottle a herbal infusion to take with you. The pace is relaxed; expect to chat with other participants and the cook's family.
