There's a revolution in wine production today , as the new New World wines of
Thailand are making a stunning breakthrough into the considered world of wine
appreciation.
Produced and processed in the stunning
Asoke Valley and sitting at an elevation of 350m above
sea level, Thailand's vineyards are cool and dry, perfect
for nurturing wine grapes.
Khao Yai National Park is Thailand's
oldest and best known nature sanctuary and is listed by
UNESCO as a world heritage site. The rolling hills and
temperate climate makes this ideal for cycling and we have
developed a wonderful little escape from Bangkok, that
combines the best bicycle trails with some wine tasting
and delicious Thai food. |

|
| |
What do we see? |
| |
From Bangkok we drive north and east and enter Khao Yai
Park from the south gate. The park covers some 2,168 sq kms
and is home to over 2,000 different species of vegetation
and more than 300 species of birds and animals. We travel
through the park stopping at various view points and we also
have a short trek through the jungle to the Heo Naraok waterfall
before continuing to our resort to check in and enjoy a light
lunch. In the afternoon we ride through patchwork countryside
that could almost be France was it not for the banana trees
and occasional coconut palm to our first vineyard, Gran Monte
and our first wine tasting. Then we continue riding along
quiet back roads to Khao Yai winery where we ride through
the vineyards before stopping for our second wine tasting
as well as a tour of the wine making facilities. After the
visit it is a short ride back our resort.
The following morning you will wake up in the very charming
Cabbages & Condoms resort, surrounded by Limestone
Mountains and nature at its very best. After breakfast
enjoy a pleasant ride through the valleys following different
trails to the Hornbill Restaurant, which is part of the
Khao Yai Winery estate, where you enjoy a mouth watering
Thai lunch complemented by a glass of wine. It is then
a short ride back to the resort where you can enjoy a swim
before returning to Bangkok via Saraburi (two hour drive).

What is the riding
like? |
| |
The roads on day 1 of the Khao Yai Wine Trails are in
excellent condition, there are a few ups and downs but generally,
the riding is relatively undemanding and requires no technical
ability. On day 2 we ride some off road sections and are
some steeper ups and downs and can be handled by most people.
This tour has been designed for the discerning traveler;
someone that enjoys the countryside, likes to ride a bike
and has a penchant for good wine and good food. It is also
a really good tour for families.

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. |
| |
|
| |
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.
A cellar door is available at both wineries, and any wine
you want to buy will be packed for safe transfer back to
the hotel. |

Cabbages & Condoms Resort: |
| |
Cabbages and Condoms are
a small chain of restaurants and resorts owned by the Population,
Community and Development Association, a Thai government
organization set up by Khun Meechai Viravaidya. The PDA operates
a wide variety of programs designed to serve and assist the
rural poor of Thailand. These programs cover such diverse
activities as free vasectomies, income generation programs
at village level, forest replanting schemes, vegetable banks,
industry relocation into rural areas, mobile health clinics,
environmental education programs, and a democracy project.
Located in the small village of Sap Tai, our resort is
beautifully situated in a scenic valley surrounded by steep
limestone mountains and in the shadow of Khao Yai, the big
mountain. The resort comfortable rather than luxurious but
has a large swimming pool and a beautiful restaurant with
a garden that is lit at night by hundreds of fairly lights.
The food here is great and the service excellent. |

This really is a great trip for a family or for a small
group of friends and we are happy to go any day of the week
for private groups. |
