What To Expect

Select from a morning, afternoon, or evening cooking class. After a local hotel pickup, arrive at the Ho Chi Minh Agricultural Villages and Ho Chi Minh Cooking School.

A master chef will offer a tour around the organic farm for a view of the cows, buffalo, chickens, and ducks, as well as a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices — plus fish and prawns.

After the tour, receive a basket with scissors and become a real Vietnamese farmer, collecting the vegetables to use later in the cooking class. Then relax with some Vietnamese fruit and a few moments in a hammock before getting started.

Four dishes will be prepared during the class. The master chef will offer advice on healthy cooking, preparing one dish at a time in an open-air environment, followed each time by a tasting.

At the end of the class, you'll receive a certificate and some recipes to take home. The day ends with a local hotel drop-off.

Amazing tour!

Alice was wonderful!

Samantha_L, Jul 2025

The cooking class was overall fun and educational. We were picked up on time, travelled by A/C van, and learned quite a bit about the medicinal uses of the herbs and vegetables at the farm Alice was kind, spoke good English, and the cooking was fun. We saw cows, a water buffalo, unleashed dogs, and some kittens. We also harvested from a mushroom-growing area. The cooking stations were spacious and they were in a space that doubles as a cashew factory, without loud machines, just quiet workers sorting cashews, which are available for purchase. Make sure you wear shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy.

Down to Earth cooking straight from the garden

Jason_B, Nov 2023

Our Farm-To-Table Healthy Cooking Class with Aura was a truly lovely experience. Starting with a prompt hotel pickup, we ventured into the countryside for a hands-on culinary adventure. Aura guided us through their garden, providing insights into the diverse array of produce that would be featured in our cooking session. Her extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor made the experience not only educational but also thoroughly enjoyable. Aura's attentiveness to our dietary preferences meant she seamlessly tailored the menu to accommodate my wife's aversion to seafood. The class was a perfect blend of education and practical application, allowing us to appreciate the journey from farm to table. Aura's expertise, coupled with the picturesque countryside setting, made for a memorable culinary escapade. Highly recommended for those seeking a hands-on and personalized farm-to-table cooking experience.

Great cooking class outside of HCM!

I had a great time in this class! Daisy was a great instructor who provided a lot of information to help me understand the why and what behind Vietnamese cooking. The four dishes we made were delicious and the preparation and transition was seamless. The facilities are great - a big, open room with ample cooking space. Most of all, I loved being on the farm and seeing the fresh produce grow. It was a nice break from city life! I highly recommend this experience!!!

Probably the best thing I did in Ho Chi Minh City! My friend and I took this class and had a great time with Chef Tan. What a talented, fun, and friendly man he is! We learned a lot, ate delicious food, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was very nice to get out of the craziness of Ho Chi Minh City is well. For those individuals who are feeling ambitious, they might be able to combine this tour with a 1/2 day Cu Chi Tunnel tour as Chef Tan's cooking school is in the same area. Otherwise, it was fine making the trip out there both days. I did the 1/2 day tunnel tour as well.

Great hands on experience! Nice to get...

Great hands on experience! Nice to get out of the city and enjoy some local produce.

Enrichissant !

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce cours de cuisine avec Linh . Il a été très pédagogue et a bien pris le temps de nous expliquer les différentes étapes pour réussir nos plats. Un moment enrichissant !
