From hidden neighbourhood gems to lively wine destinations, these seven Bangkok bars are among the best places to explore natural wine, orange wine and low intervention labels.

When talking about Bangkok’s drinking scene, cocktail bars and craft beer venues often steal the spotlight. Yet over the past few years, another movement has gained momentum. Natural wine is no longer a niche interest in Bangkok. Across the city, a growing number of wine bars are introducing drinkers to low intervention bottles, orange wines and small producer labels from around the world.

But what exactly is natural wine? While there is no single official definition, the term generally refers to wines made with minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar. Producers often favour organic or biodynamic farming methods, use native yeasts for fermentation, and keep additives to a minimum. The result can be wines that feel expressive, distinctive and closely connected to the place where the grapes were grown.

Part of the appeal is the sense of discovery. Natural wines can vary greatly in style, from fresh and easy drinking bottles to more complex and unexpected expressions. Orange wine, one of the category’s most talked about styles, has also helped introduce a new generation of drinkers to the world of low intervention winemaking.

Many of Bangkok’s wine bars have embraced this movement by dedicating part of their wine lists to natural wine, while still offering a broader selection of classic and contemporary labels. This creates a diverse drinking scene where curiosity is encouraged and there is always something new to try, helping shape one of the city’s most interesting dining and drinking trends.

Whether you are already a fan of orange wine or simply curious about what all the fuss is about, Bangkok has plenty of places worth exploring. Here are seven of the best.
