Hoi An Herbal Taste Challenge
Hoi An, Vietnam
Private | Half-Day | Food
This farm-to-table experience in Hoi An is perfection personified. Surrounding its UNESCO-protected town centre, the fertile grounds have long been the organic domain for local farmers and plantation owners. Founded on the flavours of Vietnamese cuisine, Hoi An’s gastronomical scene has benefitted from its access to some of the freshest produce in the region which would delight and impress clients in equal measure. On this tour, Discova brings the culinary curious into the farmland for a tastebudtantalising experience with a slightly competitive edge.
The scents of homegrown, organic ingredients will almost instantly fill the air once the short ride out of the town centre and into Hoi An’s agricultural heart kicks off during this half-day culinary experience. Upon arrival at an established farm, a local team of expert farmers welcomes clients to their homestead. The exploration starts with the ins and outs of making herbal tea crafted from homegrown, organic ingredients. Guests are then invited on a guided tour of our expansive organic herb farm, boasting over fifty varieties of medicinal herbs, fruits, and edible flowers.
More than just trying out organic produce while being educated about its use, this immersive experience provides a unique opportunity to learn from an exemplary sustainable farming model. Following the tour around the various sections, guests will be tested for what they have learned through a playful challenge. Their newfound knowledge of herbs will be put to the test in a fun and interactive way, offering a chance to be crowned the “Master of the Herbs.”
At the end of this half-day tour, it is time to head back to your hotel in Hoi An, armed with ample knowledge and practical ways to seek out and use fresh produce in your home cooking. You will leave feeling empowered with the ability to recreate the delicious dishes you’ve tasted and the knowledge to make sustainable food choices.
