History of PB Valley Khao Yai Winery
In 1989, Dr. Piya Bhirombhakdi – a visionary entrepreneur with a great appreciation for the finest things in life set about his mission to produce wine with a world-class taste for the people of Thailand. In the pioneering years of Thai wine-making history, this was indeed a very significant challenge. The first vineyard spread over a total of 20 hectares and was planted with Shiraz for the red wine and Chenin Blanc for the white, featuring French rootstock, and Tempranillo from Spain. With the harvest of 1998, PB Valley Khao Yai Winery celebrated its first milestone. The 1999 vintage proved that quality wine could be successfully produced in Thailand. The first marketing success followed soon after and the vision of Dr. Piya Bhirombhakdi had become reality.
