This November, Chiang Mai’s night sky will shimmer with more than just lantern light. On Wednesday, 5 November 2025, Skugga Vineyards in Mae On District will host a one-of-a-kind Yi Peng Lantern Festival, blending the timeless beauty of Loy Krathong traditions with the refinement of fine wine and farm-to-table dining.

A Vineyard Celebration Under the Full Moon

Situated among rolling hills and grapevines, Skugga Vineyards offers an enchanting backdrop for one of Thailand’s most magical festivals. Guests will gather under the full moon to release lanterns (Khom Loy), symbolizing new beginnings, good fortune, and the letting go of past troubles. It’s a ritual that has made Chiang Mai’s Yi Peng world-famous.

Event Highlights

The evening promises an elegant fusion of culture, gastronomy, and music:

Farm-to-Table Dining – A specially crafted menu paired with wines from Skugga Vineyards, highlighting fresh, seasonal flavors.
Lantern Release – Take part in the iconic Yi Peng ritual of releasing lanterns into the night sky, creating an unforgettable shared moment.
Live Performances – A full jazz band and cultural shows across the vineyard’s outdoor spaces set the mood for celebration.

Why This Festival Stands Out

While Yi Peng is celebrated across Chiang Mai, this vineyard edition brings a unique sophistication to the occasion. It’s not only about tradition but also about savoring the present — with fine wine in hand, music drifting through the vines, and the sky ablaze with lantern light.
