Thai An Grape Village

Thai An Grape Village is an agricultural tourism village in Vinh Hai Commune, Ninh Hai District, Khanh Hoa Province, located near Nui Chua National Park and Vinh Hy Bay. It is known as one of the largest grape-growing areas in former Ninh Thuan Province, with extensive vineyards cultivating NH01-48 and other varieties. The village is notable for vineyard sightseeing, grape products such as fresh grapes, wine, syrup and jam, and its coastal semi-arid landscape.

Visitors can expect open vineyards with trellised grapevines, farmhouses and small shops selling grape products. The setting is a flat coastal plain backed by the rocky hills of Nui Chua National Park, close to Thai An Beach. Visitors can walk between vineyard rows, observe cultivation techniques, taste fresh grapes and grape wine, take photographs, and purchase local products directly from growers. The area is rural and agricultural with simple facilities.

Thai An developed as a specialized grape cultivation area from the 1990s as part of agricultural development in the arid coastal zone of former Ninh Thuan Province. Grape farming, including the NH01-48 variety, became a key livelihood and later expanded into agritourism, with vineyards opened to visitors alongside traditional farming.

The village represents the agricultural culture of the coastal arid region and the adaptation of viticulture to semi-arid conditions. It showcases local farming knowledge, community-based agritourism, and grape-based products that are characteristic of the Ninh Hai area and are often associated with the broader cultural landscape near Nui Chua Biosphere Reserve.
