First Harvest
In Summer/Fall 2024, the first harvest of grapes for the production of wine in the Kingdom of Bhutan will take place. This is likely the first time in 150 years that a country has launched a new wine industry (dating back to New Zealand in late 1800s). This is truly a monumentally historic event—for the Kingdom of Bhutan and for the wine community, given that this may in fact be the last opportunity for a new wine frontier organically to be possible.
This is a once-in-a-generation (or several generations!) landmark occurrence in the wine world. While Bhutan is known globally for its Gross Natural Happiness Index, it’s also the only carbon negative country on the planet, with a focus on sustainability and harmony with the environment. Which makes this a truly unique opportunity to participate in developing some of the most unique terroir in the world of wine.
And we want to give you the chance to be a part of history!
There are three ways for you to enter for a chance to get involved in Bhutan's historic first grape harvest:
For perhaps the first time in 150 years,
a country is launching a new wine industry in what may be the last viable wine development opportunity in the world.
And its historic First Harvest will happen in Summer & Fall 2024.
