Origin

In 2024, entrepreneur Arun Kumar acquired a historic vineyard estate nestled in the serene highlands of Chiang Rai, Thailand. Captivated by the region’s cool-climate terroir, rich soil composition, and misty mountain mornings, he saw in Chiang Rai a unique opportunity — to cultivate grapes that mirror the elegance of Old World wines, yet embody the vibrant spirit of the New Age.

The elevation, sun exposure, and natural irrigation of Chiang Rai give AR Vineyards the perfect balance between innovation and tradition — setting the foundation for a new legacy of Southeast Asian winemaking.

Arun Kumar, the visionary founder of AR Holdings Group, is a multifaceted technologist, futurist, and global entrepreneur whose impact spans various sectors, including blockchain, travel, FMCG, hospitality, and technology. With a reputation for creating brands that challenge conventional standards while honoring cultural heritage, he embarked on a personal journey with AR Vineyards.

Driven by a deep-seated passion for winemaking, Kumar aims to redefine sophistication and craftsmanship within the industry. His inspiration, drawn from the artistry of seasoned vintners and the elegance inherent in fine wine, led him to conceptualize a brand that encapsulates not just taste but also the essence of time, emotion, and terroir.

Through AR Vineyards, he seeks to craft wines that tell a story, celebrating both tradition and innovation in every bottle.
