by Rose Kitchen Cooking Class
Overview
This Hanoi Culture Cooking Class with Local Market Visit and Meaningful CSR Impact lasts about four and a half hours. The experience begins with a complimentary herbal tea served upon arrival at one of two adjacent garden villas in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Each villa offers 250 square meters per floor of comfortable, air-conditioned space for cooking and dining. Participants then visit a nearby local market to observe and select fresh ingredients used in Vietnamese cuisine. Returning to the villa, an English-speaking local guide and cultural storyteller, trained by the former Head Chef of Sofitel Metropole, leads the group through preparing a full Vietnamese lunch or dinner, depending on the session time. All cooking tools and utensils are provided and maintained to five-star standards. After the meal, fresh seasonal fruits and a tasting of the company’s signature homemade fruit wine are offered. Unlimited mineral water is available throughout the class. Complimentary round-trip transfers are included within Hanoi’s Old Quarter and French Quarter. Luggage storage is available free of charge for up to three days upon request. A tour escort and on-site host assist guests during the experience. Participants receive a digital guidebook with recommendations for local eateries and hangouts and can request a digital certificate after completing the class. Free gifts for special occasions are available with advance notice. The class uses eco-friendly materials such as stainless-steel boxes and avoids plastic bags. Booking this class supports meaningful programs that benefit local communities and the environment, providing a positive social and ecological impact.
