Set in the Tam Coc countryside, it still feels like a glimpse into a bygone era, where a few artisans continue this craft by hand.You’ll learn simple stitches, work with colourful threads, and create your own piece to take home.

Tam Coc Workshops was founded in 2023 as a way to share the rich cultural traditions of Tam Coc through hands-on craft and culinary experiences. Located in the stunning Buffalo Cave, a UNESCO-listed area, the workshops offer a special blend of nature and tradition. Run by skilled local artisans and chefs, guests can try everything from fabric mosaic making to grilling fish in lotus leaves. The setting itself is breathtaking, with limestone mountains, rice fields, and a river weaving through the landscape. Visitors can also connect with local farmers through activities like buffalo riding and rice planting. It’s all about experiencing the true essence of rural Vietnam in a natural, welcoming environment.
