GranMonte Vineyard & Winery
Located in Asoke Valley, Khao Yai, some 160 km northeast of Bangkok, GranMonte (‘Big Mountain’ in Italian) is an estate that covers 16 hectares. Producing wine and table grapes, it grows Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc and many other lesser-known varieties of grape. Guided tours with wine tasting at the estate’s store, Montino Cellar Door, and a comfortable guesthouse are available, so you can visit both the vineyard and the winery. Their most renowned wine labels are the Heritage Syrah (red) and Spring Chenin Blanc (white), which have won several international awards since 2010.
