The AGS Executive Summary

Step outside Hoi An into the tranquil Tra Que Vegetable Village, where you will harvest hyper-local herbs before a hands-on Central Vietnamese cooking masterclass.

The Operator & Origin Story

Tra Que is a 300-year-old organic agricultural village supplying Hoi An with its distinct, potent herbs. The cooking schools here bridge the gap between ancient organic farming utilizing river algae and the high-end culinary traditions of the coast.

The Itinerary & Deep Dive

Cycle from your Hoi An resort to the village. You will don traditional farming gear and join local farmers in planting, watering, and harvesting herbs like sweet basil and mint.

After freshening up, a local chef will guide you in preparing regional specialties—such as Tam Huu (shrimp and pork rolls) and Banh Xeo (sizzling pancakes) using the exact ingredients you just pulled from the soil. You enjoy your creations overlooking the peaceful fields.
