Day 1

One Day Tour
Thailand's Vineyards, wine and food
£80 per person

We will pick you up from your Bangkok hotel or Airport at around 7:30am.

From Bangkok we drive north and east via Saraburi towards Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat). We then turn off the main route and take the scenic back roads to Khao Yai in the Asoke Valley. We then drive through patchwork countryside that could almost be France was it not for the banana trees and occasional coconut palm to our first vineyard:


PB Valley - Khao Yai Winery : set on a valley plain 300 metres above sea level close to Khao Yai National Park. Khao Yai Winery claims to be the birthplace of Khao Yai wine. The 800 Acre plantation includes 200 acres of good quality grapes and a 3,000 square-meter factory including a fermentation room housing French-made 225-litre oak barrels with the capacity to mature 450,000 litres of wine, or 600,000 bottles a year.

We start with an extended tour of the vineyard and winery, concluded by a tasting of their best white and red wines. Usually, four different wines are offered for tasting.

After a couple of hours we will be transported over to the Vineyard's own restaurant, the Great Hornbill, where a buffet lunch will be provided including a glass of their excellent wine.

After lunch you will be able to browse around the Winery Shop to buy wine and gifts.

When we are ready, we will take the short drive to our next winery:

Gran Monte Winery: Set in 800 acres and planted with Shriaz, Tempranillo, Chenin Blanc, and Clombard grapes, Gran Monte produces excellent wines. The vineyards are family owned and operated. Set on 40 acres and grows a mixture of Syrah and Chenin Blanc vines to produce some great wines.

We start with a short tour of the vineyard followed by an extended wine tasting session in the purpose build tasting house…again we then have the opportunity to peruse the Winery Shop for gifts and wine.

Time permitting, we will then take a short drive to see the beautiful and famous MuekLek waterfalls, where you might want to take a dip in the refreshing lagoons (at your own risk of course!)….maybe not a good idea after a belly full of wine!

If you are just taking the One Day Tour then we then head back to Bangkok and drop you back off at your hotel or Airport.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
