The Korat Plateau rises above the landscape of North Eastern Thailand like a mist shrouded mirage. Bounded in the east by the Mekong River and ringed by forested mountain ranges, which form a series of National Parks. These parks are home to elephants, hornbills, gibbons, squirrels and other species. At elevations of 500 meters above sea level and upward, the region boasts a significantly cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands which, with careful site selection, make it ideal for the production of late ripening wine-grape varieties.
