Top 2 food & drink things to do in Port Vila

1. Distillery tour and tasting at 83 Islands Distillery, Port Vila

An informative tour of 83 Islands Distillery with tastings of premium local spirits, plus scenic lagoon views.

2. Aelan slow-cooking class in Port Vila

Three hours, hands-on experience — prepare simboros, explore kitchen gardens, and enjoy your creations with fresh tropical fruits.

“This experience was far more than a typical cooking class. It was an engaging way to explore the traditions and culinary practices of Vanuatu led by a knowledgeable local guide. She demonstrated how to prepare a dish using techniques from her community, sharing stories and insights about customs throughout. As the food cooked, we toured the area where the ingredients were grown. Afterward, we enjoyed the meal we had prepared. Eden on the River provides much more than just cooking lessons; we highly suggest bringing swimwear and allowing extra time to swim in the river and explore the property.”— 661lilliand
