A little slower. A lot more memorable.
In the heart of Tam Coc, discover a slower way to meet Ninh Binh. Sit with a local embroidery artisan, follow each stitch at your own pace, then enjoy Vietnamese food or coffee in a welcoming, home-like space. Come for an activity; leave with a handmade keepsake and a story worth telling.
01 / THE EXPERIENCE
Make a memory
you can hold.
Our hands-on embroidery sessions are designed for curious beginners as well as craft lovers. An artisan stays close to guide you through each step, so the afternoon is less about getting everything perfect and more about learning, chatting and making a little room for creativity. Your finished piece travels home with you.

02 / STAY FOR SOMETHING GOOD
Good food.
Better company.
Whether you are starting the day with coffee, taking a break between sightseeing stops or gathering for a Vietnamese dinner, Vị & Thêu gives you a comfortable place to settle in. The restaurant welcomes guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with drinks to enjoy before or after your time at the embroidery table.
03 / A DIFFERENT KIND OF SOUVENIR
The nicest things are made slowly.
In a place celebrated for dramatic limestone peaks and river journeys, there are quieter stories waiting at a table. Traditional embroidery asks for just a little patience and curiosity; you do not need special skills or a perfect first stitch.
At Vị & Thêu, the workshop is a chance to spend time with a local artisan rather than simply watch a demonstration. The experience usually lasts around two hours, with time to finish your work up to a maximum of three hours. Refreshments are included, and the piece you create is yours to keep.
Learn by doing
Gentle, personal guidance helps you feel comfortable from the first stitch.
Take a real break
Sip a coffee or fresh juice, with fruit and cakes during the break.
Keep the memory
Carry home something more personal than an ordinary souvenir.
