Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

Yamanashi, just southwest of Tokyo, is at the foot of Mount Fuji, a location that has helped the area attract tourists from around the globe. The prefecture has a strong history of growing orchard fruit, and today it has evolved to become Japan’s premier wine-growing hub. This region is now home to 80 discerning winemakers who pay meticulous attention to detail. Varietals that shine in the area are koshu (white) and muscat bailey-A (red).

Nestled in the village of its namesake Aythaya (near Taunggyi, the capital of Shan State), Aythaya Vineyard is Myanmar's first vineyard. First founded in 1999, the winery hosts daily tastings, wine tours and private events, and even offers spacious bungalows with terraces as accommodation. Have a taste of their signature wines, which include the Aythaya Red (a Shiraz, Dornfelder, and Tempranillo blend), Aythaya White (a Sauvignon Blanc dominant white blend), and Aythaya Rose.


S     Sula Vineyards, Nashik, India

Undoubtedly one of the best wineries in Asia, the Sula Vineyards is also often referred to as the Napa Valley of India. Like Charosa vineyards, the Sula vineyards are located in Nashik, India. A visit to the vineyard includes a tour which takes you through how the wine is produced, wine tasting and a meal. There's even an annual wine festival called SulaFest happening each year.
