An Insider Journey Through Hoi An's Craft and Cuisine
Overview
Discover Hoi An's hidden gems with a tour across local kitchens, galleries and tasting tables. Begin with a grounding wellness ritual before heading to the countryside, where artisans and curators welcome you into their world and share their stories firsthand. Visit a tofu kitchen set amid rice fields, explore a gallery committed to preserving traditional practices, and join a fish sauce workshop that reimagines a national staple.
Itinerary
- Start the day with a 60-minute Vietnamese bodywork session designed to restore balance and clarity. Drawing on traditional techniques, the treatment prepares both body and mind for a day of discovery beyond our Resort.
- Travel to a private kitchen surrounded by rice fields for a truly Vietnamese experience, available exclusively with Four Seasons. Make fresh tofu using carefully sourced northern soybeans, then observe its transformation into delicate plant-based cheeses. Enjoy a home-style vegan lunch featuring Hoi An local food , while your host – raised in a tofu-making village – shares his personal journey.
- Arrive at a garden-lined gallery dedicated to preserving Vietnam’s cultural and artisanal heritage. Explore handwoven textiles, carved objets d’art and clay works that reflect generations of craft across diverse ethnic communities. The gallery’s founder will share the art of brewing traditional cà phê phin, alongside a conversation on heritage and legacy.
- Rediscover nước mắm, the iconic fish sauce at the heart of Vietnamese cuisine. Enjoy a guided tasting of creative products – from fish sauce serum to mayonnaise versions – made with anchovies harvested from the central coast. Meet the inventor himself to learn about his process, then craft a unique nước mắm blend to take home.
- Return to our Resort by private transfer, carrying a deeper understanding of Hoi An’s local culture – not as a visitor, but as a welcomed guest immersed in everyday life.
