The variety you plant above ground gets most of the attention. The rootstock it grows on rarely does.

IAC 572 is a Brazilian-developed rootstock bred specifically for tropical and subtropical conditions. It tolerates the high soil moisture of a monsoon growing season, resists the nematode pressure common in tropical soils, and supports vigorous establishment in the kind of heat that would stress European rootstock selections.

At Skugga Estate it is the foundation everything else is built on.
The article covers what IAC 572 is, why it was selected, and what it contributes to the long-term health of the vineyard.

The vines are young.
Planted in 2025, still finding their way along the wire, still learning this soil at 410 metres above the northern plain.
And then the sky does something like this.
Some things cannot be planned. Only waited for.

Chiang Mai earns its place on destination wedding shortlists for reasons that hold up under scrutiny rather than dissolving on closer inspection.

The food culture is genuinely exceptional. The cool season climate between November and February is reliable and comfortable for guests travelling from multiple countries. The range of settings available within an hour of the city covers formats that suit very different ideas of what a wedding day should feel like. And the cost of a high-quality event here remains significantly lower than comparable European alternatives, without any meaningful reduction in what the day delivers.

This article covers what destination weddings in Chiang Mai actually involve, and what couples consistently say made the decision straightforward in retrospect.

A destination wedding in Chiang Mai blends romance, culture, and scenery into an experience couples and guests never forget. It is a journey into a landscape where culture, nature, and intimacy merge into a single experience. Northern Thailand’s former royal capital sits in a valley surrounded by ...

The best season for a vineyard wedding in Chiang Mai is not simply the coolest month on the calendar.

It is the intersection of weather, light, vine cycle, availability, and what the estate looks like on the day. November through February delivers the most reliable conditions: clear skies, low humidity, temperatures that allow outdoor dining well into the evening.

This article maps the full seasonal picture at Skugga Estate so couples can make the timing decision with accurate information.

Mae On is not on most itineraries. That is precisely what makes it worth the detour.

Forty minutes east of Chiang Mai's old city, past the San Kamphaeng Hot Springs, the valley opens into something that feels nothing like the tourist trail. Hill farms, quiet roads, and an elevation that keeps the air cooler than the city below.

This guide covers Mae On for UK travellers who want to understand what the area offers, how to get there, and what to do when they arrive.
