Wine From Bhutan?  High Altitude, High Hopes

Wine From Bhutan? High Altitude, High Hopes

By Emilie Steckenborn

Today we speak with Michael Juergens, the founder of the Bhutan Wine Company, who is leading the development of the wine industry in the kingdom of Bhutan.  

Sharing a border with China and India, Bhutan is known for its remarkable landscape characterized by steep mountains.   

Michael is also a senior partner with a Big Four consulting firm, where he runs the Winery Solutions practice.  

In this podcast we speak about how a trip abroad to Bhutan lead Michael to speak with the local government about investing in vineyards and winemaking. 

While wine has yet to be produced, in this podcast we discuss how this high altitude region holds high hopes of becoming a quality wine region.
