DaNang Farm-to-Table Cooking Class with Market and Coffee Tasting

About this tour

Start in Da Nang's vegetable gardens where farmers grow what you'll cook, then browse a bustling neighbourhood market to select ingredients yourself. You'll taste locally roasted Vietnamese coffee before heading to a home kitchen where a local cook walks you through preparing traditional dishes from scratch. Four and a half hours, small groups, everything provided—you leave with skills and a meal you've made.

What to expect

The class kicks off in Da Nang's vegetable-growing belt, where you'll see what grows seasonally and chat with farmers about their crops. From there, you head to a neighbourhood market—the real thing, not a tourist zone—to pick ingredients under your cook's eye. Back in their home kitchen, you'll get a proper coffee tasting before rolling up your sleeves. Expect to chop, fry, simmer and season. Your cook demonstrates each dish, then you follow suit at your own station. By the end, you sit down to eat what you've made.

Good to know

Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes for market and farm walking. The kitchen can get warm; bring a small towel. Public transport is nearby if you're arranging your own way there. All meals and drinks during the class are included.
