Monsoon
Valley
Vineyard,
Hua
Hin
District:
A
vineyard
in
Hua
Hin
district?
This
was
a
leftfield
surprise.
Close
to
the
border
with
Myanmar
is
the
300-acres
beloved
vineyard
of
the
Hua
Hin
district.
Lolling
green
hills
akin
to
the
ones
you’re
used
to
in
Australia
or
Europe
you
don’t
get.
Mind
you,
we
did
a
massive
wine
trail
in
Porto
in
June.
But
this
is
cute
and
sweet,
if
you
place
firmly
place
it
in
context.
Thai
Wine
country
shook
the
international
scene
when
Monsoon
bagged
eight
silver
medals
at
AWC
Vienna
2023,
so
they
do
hold
some
substance.
A
45
minute
drive
out
of
Hua
Hin
downtown,
you
can
either
arrange
your
own
driver
or
get
on
the
shuttle
bus
with
the
winery
with
a
pick
up
at
their
wine
bar
in
downtown
for
600
baht.
We
had
a
personal
driver
but
they
failed
to
tell
us
to
pay
the
driver
direct.
So
come
armed
with
cash.
Tour
around
the
vineyard
on
the
safari
bus
was
short
and
sweet
-
with
the
necessary
trimmed
details.
The
guide
isn’t
an
oenophile.
Global
weather
patterns
meant
50%
of
the
production
is
affected.
They
export
30%
of
their
wine
internationally.
As
you
would
have
guessed,
whites
wouldn’t
be
their
strongest
suit.
Shiraz
is.
You
pay
for
the
wine
tasting
and
if
you
fancy,
food
pairings
too
at
the
elevated
restaurant
overlooking
the
vineyard.
We
came
for
the
3
PM
tour
which
was
perfect
as
you
watch
the
sun
dip
in
the
valley
cleavage.
There
are
small
hassles
you
get
attached
to
the
culture
-
staff
hurry
you
through
the
wine
tasting
experience
but
hold
your
ground
and
sip,
swirl
and
savour
your
wine
at
your
own
pace.
