Jazz at the Vineyard (December 20)
Wine connoisseurs can also get down and groovy this festive season at Monsoon Valley on December 20. The gorgeous vineyard, set in the hills 45km to the east of downtown Hua Hin, will host a night of jazz to celebrate Christmas with a local Thai group, The Hua Hin Young Chronicles, and Dutch big band Big to The Future (B2F). ‘The Young Chronicles incorporate Thai traditional instruments into their performances,’ says the winery’s Guido Campigotto. ‘And B2F mixes jazz and pop classics, they always have everyone dancing at the end.’ Live music will run from 6.30pm until 10pm after welcome drinks. The event includes a lavish buffet dinner, free-flow wines and charitable auctions. ‘We try to share the Christmas spirit by working in conjunction with a local charity, Hua Hin Heroes,’ says Campigotto.
