Experience Details

Our Secret experiences take guests off-the-beaten path for intimate, guided culinary experiences inspired by the chef's journey.


This Secret experience invites you into one of Hoi An’s most breathtaking ancient homes — a centuries-old riverside villa, transformed into a beautiful art deco space — for a gourmet journey unlike anything else in Vietnam.
