The members of the Thai Wine Association, which include Alcidini, Granmonte Family Vineyards, PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, Siam Winery, Silverlake Vineyards, and Village Farm have announced the harvest festival program starting in February until mid-March 2010. Fun and exciting activities include harvesting, music and dance, to fine dinners and wine tastings.


The members of the Thai Wine Association are commencing the 2010 harvest in February and March of 2010. Throughout this period an array of interesting and fun activities are taking place in Khao Yai, Pattaya and Hua Hin regions.

Visitors to the regions can participate in the annual harvesting of premium Thai grapes and meet winemakers and owners alike. All grape pickers are hosted to a casual lunch. During the evenings the member wineries host their own festivities to celebrate the harvest with good food, music and other fun activities celebrating Bacchus, the god of wine and the recent success in the international competitions.

Kicking off the series of activities are the wineries from Khao Yai Wine Region. At Granmonte, the “Grand Celebration” is going to be held on February 6-7 and followed by Village Farm where the annual “night harvest” is arranged on February 13 (with a second one on February 27) and a post harvest winter music fest on March 6. Last but not least, PB Valley Khao Yai Winery’s “Rhythm in the Vineyard” will also be held on February 20th.

In Pattaya, visitors can join Silverlake Vineyard at Blue to Rock concert on 6 February, followed by the Jazz Kamikake on 13 March. And in Hua Hin, Siam Winery’s Hua Hin Hills Vineyard is offering a special Valentine’s Day menu on February 14th, as well as jazz sounds on weekends from February 20 to March 21.
