À propos de votre expérience

"Rice is Life" and rice papermaking is an important part of our family history. Our great-grandparents taught it to our parents who professionalized it. And our parents taught it to us. Now is the time to give the tradition to our kids and also to you. We love rice in all varieties. For a lot of our favorite recipes, we have to grind the rice before.

After we make the rice dough, we can steam it on rice paper. We can use this for our fresh spring rolls or make different kinds of rice noodles or crispy rice paper out of it. In our rice paper class, you will learn all about that. From "the farm to the fork" will be a great experience, when you prepare the rice paper for your own spring rolls and soup.

Tra Que is a saved heritage by the Government and a unique fertile Island in the river.

"A fun time at Tra Que Water Wheel."

Our family had so much fun at Tra Que. We cycled, rode a water buffalo, had a ride in a boat, did some farming, made some rice paper, did a cooking class and sang some songs! Everyone was so friendly and full of happiness. The whole experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. Thank you! Keep spreading your joy and happiness! :-)

"Tra Que Water Wheel village tour experience."

What an experience, we travelled to Tra Que Village from our hotel cycling and navigating through the city traffic of Hoi An with kids in tow. I was a bit nervous at first since it’s been probably about 10 years since the last time I rode a bike, especially with my 8-year-old son on the back but I must say it was fun. We a family of 4 had plenty of laughs and really enjoyed the tour. Hopefully, the bok choy we helped plant in the vegetable garden will grow healthy in the next 6 months. Our tour guide Kun was amazing. What a breath of fresh air she was. From the moment she picked us up from our hotel to the cooking class we had with her and Kun showing the kids how they made rice paper rolls she was patient and just lovely. Overall we enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it to family and friends

"In The Pouring Rain, We Loved It!"

Even in the pouring rain, we had a terrific time here. We were picked up at our Hoi An hotel by bicycle & biked through the Old Quarter of Hoi An until, poof, we were out in the countryside (& poof, that's when the pouring rain started!). We were given big ponchos, non las & sandals, which made the rain more of an adventure than an obstacle &, thereafter, paddled out onto the river in one of the "uncle's" round basket boats, learned about the fishing/snailing (can it be called that?), water coconuts (made a wedding ring from coconut leaf), & got to paddle a bit. We chose not to ride the "family's" water buffalo being that it was raining so hard & instead took a wonderful tasting tour through the herb gardens (still in the rain) & got to sample Thai basil, coriander, cilantro, hot peppers plants, mint & more. We also got to help one of the "uncles" prepared the soil for planting spinach seedlings & watched as he watered the garden with the coolest double-watering-cans-on-a-pole. Back @ the Water Wheel, we got heavenly neck, shoulder & foot massages by two "cousins" (So nice!) & then learned about how to grind rice flour & rice paper-making over a special oven. Because we had learned so much about herbs & rice paper, we began our fun & yummy cooking class, using these ingredients & knowledge. We prepared a 3 Friends dish (shrimp, carrot, coriander & mint rolled in a ring of scallion), also cooked rice paper pancakes & more, until we sat down for our just-prepared lunch, which was SO fresh & so wonderful. Dessert & after-lunch conversation with the owner of the Water Wheel, Mrs. Thuong, were equally enjoyable & added such a personal touch to a very wet, but thoroughly perfect day here. (At the end, we biked back to our hotel in yes, the pouring rain)
