This extraordinary culinary program features a tantalizing and cultural-inspiring journey to the very heart of Vietnam, offering you a truly magical experience little known to even the most sophisticated traveler. On this tour, our guests will not only have an opportunity to experience spectacular sights, stay at Indochina's finest hotels, participate in an array of uncommon activities, and sample fabulous cuisines in Vietnam's top destinations, but a unique opportunity to bring home the region's best-kept culinary secrets that the world has grown to love so much.

 

Your introduction to Vietnam begins with Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, a city of lakes, shaded boulevards and public parks. With narrow alleyways lined with shop-houses selling traditional handicrafts and arts, the old center is an enchanting place to wander. After a delight visit in Hanoi, we take you to Danang, infamous for its Cham Museum, the Marble Mountains and China Beach enroute to Hoi An, an inspiring artists' colony that was earmarked as one of Southeast Asia's most important ports for many centuries, renown for its unsurpassed charm accentuated by white sand beaches and numerous well-preserved ancient buildings. Finally, we bring you to the vibrant metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon and forever known as the "Paris of the East", that has rapidly blossomed as one of Asia's hottest spots, offering visitors Vietnam's best cuisines, a bustling nightlife and deluxe accommodations.

 

Of course, not only will you sample a variety of savoring culinary delights throughout your Vietnam expedition, you will also enjoy three fascinating cooking courses led by Vietnam's top chefs to help you refine your new-found art of Vietnamese cuisine.  Join us and discover Vietnam in ways that go beyond the imagination...
