Thai Wine Association 
Hosts Its First Masterclass30 May 2009 – Napalai Ballroom, Dusit Thani Bangkok

The Thai Wine Association (TWA) joined ‘Thailand Sommelier of the 
Year 2009’ to host the first Thai Wine Masterclass for 100 professional
sommeliers from around the country.

Five members of the Thai Wine Association – PB Khaoyai Winery, 
GranMonte Estate, Village Farm Winery, Siam Winery and Maechan 
Winery - presented themselves at the whole-day masterclass.

This was the first time that Thai sommeliers have been thoroughly
familiarised with a wide range of Thai wines.Each winery came well
prepared to present its corporate profile and products, and all 
participants had the opportunity to taste the wines at the wineries’ 
individual counters.

All 20 finalists of Thailand Sommelier of the Year 2009 have been
invited to the Khaoyai district in October, when the three local wineries 
(PB Khaoyai Winery, GranMonte Estate and Village Farm Winery)
will be hosting a weekend break. This is a rare opportunity for
professional Thai sommeliers to extend their knowledge and 
appreciation of the domestic wine-growing industry.
