During our stay in Thailand we headed out to the hills to have lunch at Monsoon Valley Winery. I was surprised that there was a winery here, never having been to one in Thailand before.
There is also an elephant sanctuary situated here and you can take a small minibus out to see them. We had left it too late to book a tour though.
Anthony and I were delightfully surprised by the magnificent scenery that surrounded us.
We were seated outside on the verandah and had a lovely view over the extensive vineyards. It was exceptionally hot though and I was still recovering from a flu virus! There was a fan nearby which I had positioned to blow on me.
Stunning views from our table on the verandah
The menu was full of delicious dishes and when they arrived did not disappoint. Starting with a charcuterie board followed by coconut flakes and dried shrimp in grape leaves and grilled prawns and pineapple fried rice. We enjoyed every mouthwatering morsel.
The Monsoon Valley Restaurant
What a wonderful way to wile away an afternoon, good company, great views and gourmet food. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are ever in Hua Hin.

Sometimes, the most unexpected places deliver the best surprises.
You never know what’s over the hill 😊
Who knew Thailand has wineries? Not me! It looks like a wonderful place to visit, and the food looks delicious. A shame though that you weren’t feeling well – I hope it didn’t spoil the experience too much?
Thanks Sarah, I wasn’t going to miss out 😊
A winery in Thailand – who knew? Looks very nice
It was Sue 😊
Excellent
I’ve been to Hua Hin, but didn’t know there were wineries there! Maggie
I looked at the map for places to go and my sister in law said they had been. We had such a nice afternoon there
Now that’s interesting. Whenever we eat at our favourite Thai restaurant in Canterbury back home, I order a wine called Monsoon Red – I’m guessing it must be from this very winery!
How funny. It must be!
Thai wine is unexpected! A lovely setting.
A real treat 😀
Your meal looks very tasty. And with a great view too.
Elephant sanctuary and a winery- sign me up! Looks beautiful with great good
