Tailored for gourmet enthusiasts and discerning travelers, these curated tours combine Vietnam’s rich culinary heritage with the country’s burgeoning wine culture to deliver a truly world-class experience.

From Hanoi’s charming French Quarter to the scenic vineyards of Da Lat, guests are invited to explore Vietnam through the lens of taste, tradition, and elegance.

A Culinary Exploration Like No Other

While Vietnamese cuisine is globally celebrated for its balance of flavor, texture, and freshness, this tour elevates it to new heights. Guests will embark on an exclusive gastronomic journey that goes beyond street food and delves into the country’s evolving fine-dining scene.

Dine in colonial mansions, riverside villas, and sleek rooftop restaurants. Participate in private cooking classes with renowned chefs. Discover how regional ingredients are transformed into elegant, modern creations—each dish telling a story of culture and innovation.

Highlights include:

• Hanoi: Private dinners with chefs specializing in Franco-Vietnamese fusion; garden tea-and-wine pairings.

• Hue: A royal cuisine experience featuring dishes once served to emperors.

• Ho Chi Minh City: Modern tasting menus crafted by Michelin-trained chefs in stylish urban settings.

Uncovering Vietnam’s Emerging Wine Scene

Vietnam may be a newcomer to the global wine map, but its wine culture is fast gaining momentum. The tour includes immersive visits to vineyards in Da Lat’s temperate highlands and the sun-drenched valleys of Ninh Thuan, where French grape varietals are cultivated in ideal terroirs.

Guests will enjoy:

• Vineyard tours and conversations with local vintners

• Sommelier-led tastings of premium Vietnamese wines

• Artisan cheese and charcuterie pairings

• Insight into Vietnam’s winemaking journey and future potential

For connoisseurs of international wines, select stops also offer curated tastings of global labels—from Bordeaux to Napa Valley—served in luxury wine lounges with live music and gourmet small plates.

Crafted for the Luxury Traveler

This experience is more than a culinary adventure—it is a tailored luxury escape. Each itinerary is customizable, whether guests desire helicopter transfers to remote vineyards, sunset dinners aboard a private cruise in Ha Long Bay, or spa and wellness add-ons at five-star resorts.

Accommodations are carefully selected to match the high-end nature of the journey, including:

• Boutique heritage hotels

• Private pool villas

• Premium urban retreats with rooftop dining

Elevating Vietnam as a Culinary Destination

“Vietnam is no longer just a destination for adventure and culture—it’s becoming a hub for sophisticated, experience-driven tourism,” says Nguyen Thu Hien, Product Director at Vietnamtourism-Hanoi.
