Vietnam Wine Regions: The Complete Guide

Wine production is relatively young in Vietnam, as modern commercial production only started around the beginning of the 21st century, but its growth has been firmly increasing. Even though the country’s high percentage of humidity doesn’t help the growing of grapes, there are a few terroirs and environments favorable for planting vines.

The areas considered suitable for vines include the Red River Valley, Da Lat and the Central Highland region, with their more temperate climate, and the dry coastal plain near Phan Rang-Tháp Chàm, where most of the country's grapes are grown. Before undergoing a steady growth between the 20th and the 21st centuries, the first wine-growing experiment was done by French colonists in the area around the Ba Vì mountain range, not far from the city of Hanoi.

Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are among the main wine varieties used by Vietnamese wineries.
