Cooking Tour In Hoi An

Itinerary

This Hoi An Cooking Tour combines market exploration with hands-on culinary learning in a traditional setting. Starting at the local market where you’ll select fresh ingredients with your instructor, you’ll then prepare 3-4 authentic central Vietnamese dishes in a family home or cooking school, learning techniques passed down through generations.

The half-day experience (4-5 hours) is designed for all skill levels with clear instruction, manageable recipes, and comfortable kitchen workspace with seating breaks. You’ll cook, eat what you’ve prepared, and receive recipe cards to recreate the dishes at home. The focus is cultural understanding through food, not professional cooking skills.

Your day begins at 8:15 AM with a refreshing drink and a quick chat about what’s in store. Then, dive into the heart of Hoi An’s bustling market. Here, you’ll see, smell, and taste the fresh ingredients that make Vietnamese cuisine so special. Chat with friendly local sellers and try some tasty treats along the way.

Next, hop aboard our boat for a scenic 25-minute ride down the Hoi An River. Keep your camera ready – you might spot some interesting local life on the banks!

At the Red Bridge Cooking School, you’ll explore our lush herb garden before learning about famous Vietnamese dishes. Our expert chefs will show you how to cook each meal step-by-step. You’ll even learn how to make your plates look beautiful with food carving tricks.

After about 2 hours of hands-on cooking fun, sit back and enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created yourself. It’s a perfect blend of learning, fun, and fantastic food – all in one unforgettable day!
