Xi’an Home Dining: Market Tour, Custom Cooking & Local Brews｜China

Forget rigid, pre-set menu cooking classes. This is an unscripted, 100% personalized home-dining experience tailored entirely to your taste buds and culinary curiosity, hosted in an intimate local setting (max 5 guests).

Part 1: The Big Market Exploration & Interactive Shopping
Your adventure starts at a thriving local market—a vibrant hub far from tourist crowds. As we walk through aisles of fresh produce, cooked foods, spices, dried goods, and local snacks, you call the shots!
Spot a bizarre mushroom you’ve never seen?
Curious about how locals prepare chicken feet, special regional veggies, or exotic spices?
We’ll buy them on the spot and build tonight's dinner around what excites you most.
You can also shop for authentic local seasonings at true local prices to take home.

Part 2: Hands-On Kitchen Fun & Culinary Secrets
Back at our home, unwind with a warm Chinese tea welcome—sampling green tea, black tea, or Shaanxi’s local specialty, Fu Tea (茯茶).
Then, put on an apron and jump into the kitchen! This is a complete hands-on experience. You’ll learn how everyday Chinese households chop, balance spices, and master the high-heat magic of wok-frying.
We’ll explain every technique, step-by-step, as we bring your chosen market finds to life. (Want to fold dumplings or pull noodles too? Just say the word!)

Part 3: Family-Style Feast, Drinks & Farewell Gift
Sit down together to enjoy the feast you helped design and cook. To pair with your customized dishes, enjoy an open selection of drinks: authentic Chinese Baijiu, regional beers, or house-brewed craft beer.
We’ll share stories, culture, and laughter over dinner.
Before you leave, receive a special handmade souvenir from our family as a token of friendship.
