Winery Overview & History
Chateau Dalat was created as the premium label of Vang Dalat Winery, with a vision to elevate Vietnamese wines to international recognition. Inspired by French château traditions, it represents the refined, modern face of Vietnam’s growing wine culture.
The brand focuses on meticulous craftsmanship, blending imported noble grapes with select local fruit to achieve consistency, structure, and elegance. Since its introduction, Chateau Dalat has become the benchmark for fine wine in Vietnam.
Vineyard Location & Terroir
Located in the cool, mist-covered hills of Dalat, the vineyards benefit from moderate temperatures, steady rainfall, and volcanic soils that encourage slow ripening. These natural advantages allow the wines to develop aromatic depth and complexity uncommon in tropical regions.
The combination of altitude, sunlight, and mountain breezes creates a microclimate that is ideal for premium grape cultivation and balanced acidity.
Grape Varieties & Wine Style
Chateau Dalat focuses on classic international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. The wines are full-bodied yet elegant, displaying ripe berry fruit, subtle oak spice, and smooth tannins.
Its style reflects a fusion of French sophistication and Vietnamese freshness — approachable in youth, yet capable of graceful aging.
Signature Wines

Winemaking & Cellar Practices
