Pepper farm tour

Rreth

Fakte të shpejta: Visitors stroll through a pepper plantation where vines climb 3-meter wooden poles in neat rows across the island's red laterite soil. The farm produces around 70% of Vietnam's export pepper, with harvests coming twice yearly from March to July.

Pikat kryesore: You get to pluck peppercorns straight off the vine and crush them between your fingers, releasing an intense, sharply aromatic oil that lingers on your skin. The oldest vines on the farm are over 20 years old, and the growers still use traditional beeswax and wood-fired drying methods passed down through three generations.

Këshilla të brendshme

• Wear closed-toe shoes since the red laterite soil gets slippery and muddy after rain showers
• Bring mosquito repellent, the shaded vine rows are a favorite breeding spot especially at dusk
• Ask the guide to show you the red peppercorns, which are riper and fruitier than the more common black variety
• Skip the midday hours between 11:00 and 2:00 when the heat and humidity peak among the vines
