GranMonte’s journey takes flight!

aurelien.foucault@gmail.com / March 16, 2026

It is with pride and immense gratitude that we announce the beloved GranMonte Sakuna Rosé, of Khao Yai Wine Geographical Indication, has been selected to be served in the Royal First Class and Royal Silk Class of Thai Airways flights!

We have journeyed a long way, from planting the first vines 27 years ago to becoming a GI-certified 100% Thai wine beloved by wine drinkers and decorated with numerous awards from international competitions. Today, we join the best food and beverage offerings selected by Thai Airways to be served to world travelers, who are ready to experience all things crafted and quintessentially Thai. We’ve stayed on this challenging path because of the friends and supporters who have cheered us on throughout the years.

We’d like to thank all of you and hope to fly to new destinations together!

Today, we are paying a visit to the Rhum Belami distillery in Ho Chi Minh City, where we get to meet the founder of the first Rhum 100% made in Vietnam.

After a long ascent along winding roads to the summit of the Dalat highlands, above the clouds, a rare gem finally comes into view: Ladora Winery, producer of the renowned Château Dalat, the only wine estate that is truly 100% “made in Vietnam”.
