The Village of Tra Que Hoi An: A Hidden Gem
History and Culture
Tra Que Hoi An is a small village located just 3 kilometers northeast of Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The village has a rich history dating back over 400 years when it was first established by the Cham people. It was later inhabited by the Vietnamese who brought with them their farming techniques and traditions. Today, the village is home to around 200 households, most of whom are farmers.
The name “Tra Que” comes from the Vietnamese word ” Trà Quế” which means the fragrance of vegetables or herbs. This is because the villagers here are known for their skill in cultivating herbs and vegetables without using any machinery. Instead, they rely on traditional methods passed down through generations, making Tra Que Hoi An a unique and authentic farming community.

These classes offer a unique experience where you not only learn how to cook authentic Vietnamese dishes but also get to experience the life of a real farmer.

The ingredients used in the cooking classes are all sourced from the village itself. You will also get to learn about the different herbs and vegetables used in Vietnamese cuisine and their health benefits. You will get to enjoy the delicious dishes you have prepared, giving you a true taste of Vietnam after the class.
