After 1.5 years of meticulous planning and on-the-ground research, we are thrilled to launch Vietnam’s first-ever 20-Day Culinary Adventure, a journey that goes beyond the usual food tour and immerses you in the heart of Vietnam’s diverse cuisine and culture.
Why This Culinary Adventure Is a Game-Changer
Chôm Chôm Travel has always been about offering off-the-beaten-path adventures in Vietnam, and this culinary ultimate journey is no exception. We’ve crafted this experience for those who want more than just to taste the food—it’s to learn, connect, be inspired, and create lasting memories that can’t be found elsewhere. Over 20 days, you will explore Vietnam from North to South, diving into local markets, cooking with ethnic communities, and even participating in sustainable farming practices.
What You Will Do In This 20-Day Culinary Adventure?
-
Authentic Experiences:Cook with local families and learn family recipes passed down through the generations – the most unique ones that can’t be found online or in book
- Immersive Activities: Try your hands at shrimp fishing, coffee farming, wild edibles foraging (expect unique seasonal ingredients), cooking in the forest, and more! It is truly beyond just learning about different leaves and herbs in the wild. It is about reconnecting to nature and respecting nature. If you’re adventurous enough, join the Bahnar ethnic people in the field in Kon Tum and learn to cut some bamboo. Or even catch shrimp and prepare a picnic lunch in the Mạ ethnic way in Bảo Lộc!
- Cultural Exploration: Spend time in remote ethnic villages and discover Vietnam’s rich cultural tapestry. From different types of traditional houses, clothes, longstanding traditional crafts, and languages to diverse cuisines from 5+ ethnic communities that you’ll discover throughout the trip – it’s like traveling to new lands! For example, in a village of the Ê Đê ethnic community in Đak Lak, you’ll explore their life at a traditional long house with special wooden stairs to the house, join the farming journey of different spices, and more!
- Meaningful Connections: Go beyond surface introductions and form real bonds with local people. Share stories, learn about their lives, and gain a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture through genuine, heartwarming interactions. One of our most inspiring experiences is learning how the natural palmyra sugar is made in An Giang, from harvesting to cooking. We were moved by their great passion, hard work, and pride in what they do.
- Sustainability at Heart: Support local communities and eco-friendly practices, ensuring your adventure has a positive impact in every possible way – contribute to a sustainable income, preserve rich cultural heritage, protect the environment and wildlife, and more.
Not Your Average Food Tour
We’re proud to say this isn’t just another food tour—it’s a full culinary journey! Imagine waking up in a cozy homestay in a village where no one knows, spending your morning exploring vibrant markets where the colors, sounds, and smells create a sensory feast, and then learning how to make traditional Vietnamese ethnic dishes with a local family.
You won’t just eat Vietnamese food—you’ll live it. From the bustling streets of Saigon, where you’ll taste the best bánh mì and phở, to the serene landscapes of the Mekong Delta, where you’ll learn the secrets of regional dishes, every day is designed to inspire and delight.
