Vietnam Culinary Trips
We began organizing our Vietnam culinary journeys over twenty years ago. Why Vietnam? Of all the destinations for a food-focused tour, it's in Vietnam where food really expresses the heart and soul of the nation (read about Vietnamese cuisine). You can sense it in every meal, whether a breakfast overlooking the rice paddies or a dinner in an opulent city restaurant. Food is a topic of conversation with the locals you meet, an ice-breaker for conversing with strangers. It's an invite to explore, with markets and alleyways so vibrant in their fragrances and flavors. We can blend in a mix of culinary highlights, from informal street eats to formal dining, including specific culinary activities experiences in your trip, such cooking classes and markets. But more than that, ensure that the country's gastronomic pleasures become part of your every day, instilling the heart and soul of a country into every bite.
