The Experience

Where the Harvest Begins

Vị Thanh Market awakens with baskets of vegetables, herbs and seasonal produce brought in from the surrounding countryside.

Sit among local residents for breakfast and Vietnamese coffee while your host connects the colours and flavours around you to the landscapes ahead.

From Rice Fields to Pineapple Country

Beyond the town, the horizon opens.

Rice fields stretch beside quiet roads and narrow waterways. Farmhouses appear between palms, gardens and cultivated land as the familiar Mekong begins to fall away.

Continue west into Tắc Cậu, where pineapple farms grow between canals and family homes.

Meet the people behind the harvest, hear how the land shapes their lives and taste pineapple close to where it was grown.
