HISTORY

Over a decade ago, Dr. Chaijudh Karnasuta discovered that the Phurua highlands of Northeastern Thailand could produce good wine-making grapes. His conviction bore fruit. In 1995 Chateau de Loei, the first commercially produced quality Thai wine, hit the market.

Dr. Chaijudh is also the founder of Italthai Group. He was born in the year of the rooster - a symbol of hard work and delication and now Chateau de Loei’s logo. The fruit of Dr. Chaijudh’s passion and determination has become the first Thai wine to be exported to Europe and Japan.
