Fortunately, Khao Yai offers some distinctive features that have contributed to its success as one of the premier wine-making regions in Thailand. Set on the edge of Khao Yai National Park at an elevation of 500 metres above sea level, the region maintains a relatively cool average temperature all year round, with morning temperatures dipping to a very pleasant 15\u00b0-20\u00b0 Celsius during harvest time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first grapes were planted here in 1991 by the Thai owner with help from a dedicated German wine making expert. Today the estate produces 150,000 liters of wine every year \u2013 enough to fill 200,000 bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After taking a tour of the vineyards, visitors get to witness the wine-making process at the Winery and take part in a free wine tasting session which includes several varieties of red and white wines produced at the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the on-site restaurant, the Great Hornbill, serves excellent steaks, pizza and Thai food complete with a selection of award winning wines from the vineyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
