Xuan Tuoi Vineyard in Cao Lanh City, the capital of Dong Thap Province in southern Vietnam, is open to the public free of charge, giving them the opportunity to enjoy vines laden with grapes of several varieties.
The vines are entering the second harvest season this year, making the vineyard attractive to tourists.
Visitors can experience grape-picking at the grape farm.
The three-year-old vineyard, located in Tan Thuan Dong Commune, boasts a wide array of grape varieties such as Ninh Thuan red grapes, witch finger grapes, shine-muscat grapes, and diamond grapes.
Among them, the red grape variety dominates the vineyard.

Le Hong Xuan, owner of the vineyard, said that it covers 1,200 square meters, turning out some 1.5 metric tons of grapes per crop.
“I bought seeds from Ninh Thuan Province, dubbed Vietnam’s grape-growing hub, and then learned how to farm the fruit plant,” Xuan recounted.
He revealed that he found it fairly easy to grow vines in the Mekong Delta region.
His vineyard is three years old, and produces grapes three times per year. Each crop lasts for over two months.
The vineyard is open to visitors without entrance fees so they can admire laden-fruit vines, take photos with the vineyard, and pick grapes, he added.
Le Ngoc Thuy, a native of Tan Khanh Trung Commune in Lap Vo District, Dong Thap Province, said that the vineyard is charming as grapevines are laden with the fruit.
The vineyard, just a 20-minute drive from the heart of Cao Lanh, is a must-visit place for visitors on weekends.
