Raise a Glass to a Great Golf Holiday

Golf and good drinks go hand in hand — and in Thailand, the experience goes beyond your standard 19th hole. At Fairways of Eden, we love adding a local twist to your golf holiday. That’s why we’ve curated two unique tasting experiences that let you savor the flavors of Thailand after your round is done. Whether you’re into bold reds, crisp whites, tropical gin, or smooth small-batch rum, these stops are the perfect blend of fun, flavor, and discovery.

🍷 Wine Tasting at Monsoon Valley Vineyard – Hua Hin

Located in the rolling hills just 45 minutes outside Hua Hin, Monsoon Valley Vineyard is a must-visit for wine lovers. The vineyard is set in a beautiful valley, surrounded by tropical greenery, making it one of the most scenic wine experiences in Southeast Asia. Here, you’ll sample award-winning Thai wines crafted for the local climate — from Shiraz and Chenin Blanc to Rosé and dessert wines.

You can book a simple tasting session or go for the full experience with a tour of the vineyard, a paired lunch, or even a fun tuk-tuk ride through the vines. The on-site restaurant offers panoramic views and gourmet pairings that turn your wine break into a memorable afternoon. It’s a perfect group activity or romantic outing that adds a different pace to your golf adventure.

🥃 The Distillery – Rum, Gin & Cocktails in Phuket

For something a bit more spirited, The Distillery in Phuket’s Chalong area offers a completely different tasting experience. Known for its handcrafted gin and rum made with local botanicals and tropical ingredients, this boutique distillery gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how small-batch spirits are created in Thailand.

Your visit can include a guided distillery tour with plenty of tastings — from classic gin and tonic blends to more exotic infusions. Want to get more hands-on? Join their cocktail-making workshop where you’ll learn to shake, stir, and pour like a pro. It’s fun, interactive, and perfect for couples or groups looking to do something unique after golf.

And yes — it’s more than just a few sips. These are expertly guided tastings designed to teach you about the distillation process and the care that goes into every bottle. You’ll walk away with a new appreciation for Thai spirits, and maybe even a new favorite drink to order back home.

🚗 Easy to Add. Easy to Enjoy.

As always, Fairways of Eden makes it easy to fit these experiences into your schedule. We’ll organize pickup from your hotel, time the visit around your golf rounds, and make sure you don’t have to worry about logistics. Want to pair your tasting with a late tee-off or dinner reservation? Just let us know — we’ll arrange everything around your preferences.

These tasting experiences are a great addition to solo trips, couples’ getaways, or small golf groups looking to mix in a little more culture, flavor, and fun. It’s about balance — some days on the fairway, some days raising a glass and celebrating the journey.

👉 Let us know if you prefer wine, rum, or both — we’ll make sure it’s an experience worth toasting.
