Da Nang: Vietnamese Cooking Class & Local Garden Tour

Immerse yourself in Vietnamese culture with a cooking class in Da Nang. Visit a hidden vegetable garden, learn about traditional herbs, and cook 3 iconic dishes with an experienced chef.
Begin your experience with a warm welcome from your local guide, who will introduce you to the spirit of Vietnamese cuisine and the people behind it. Then, travel by motorbike from Pistachio to a hidden vegetable garden in the heart of Da Nang, a place where local farmers have been growing fresh herbs and greens for over 20 years.

Despite the city’s rapid development, these farmers still visit the garden twice a day, starting as early as 4:00 AM, to water, harvest, and care for their crops. Learn about traditional Vietnamese herbs such as basil, lettuce, and mustard greens, try hands-on activities like watering plants or carrying water buckets, and enjoy authentic photo moments with local farmers — a truly Vietnamese experience rarely seen by tourists.

After returning to Pistachio, it’s time to cook. Guided by an experienced chef, prepare three iconic Vietnamese dishes: Bánh xèo (crispy sizzling pancake), Gỏi cuốn (fresh spring rolls), and Gỏi xoài tôm (green mango shrimp salad). While cooking, your guide will share the cultural stories behind each dish — from the joyful sizzling sound of bánh xèo symbolizing harvest celebrations, to gỏi cuốn reflecting simplicity, sharing, and family connection, and gỏi xoài tôm showcasing Vietnam’s creativity and seasonal eating habits.

This class is highly interactive: guests are encouraged to compare Vietnamese food with cuisines from their own countries, ask questions about ingredients and techniques, and enjoy personal stories passed down through generations. By the end of the experience, you won’t just know how to cook Vietnamese food — you’ll understand the culture, lifestyle, and heart behind it.

Before saying goodbye, collect your email to receive the recipes and photos from the class, so you can recreate these flavors at home and relive your memories of Vietnam.
