Project Background
Tropical Fruit Winery is a startup beverage brand based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, focusing on low-alcohol fermented fruit wine made from local mango, litchi and passion fruit. Targeting tourist souvenir shops, boutique restaurants and resort hotels, the brand positions its products as natural, light-taste local specialty gifts. With no prior wine production experience, the client needed a one-stop turnkey partner that could handle plant layout design, equipment supply, process debugging and staff training.
Full Turnkey Service Scope
Allylinkmachine undertook the whole project from process design to trial production, including plant layout planning, equipment manufacturing and delivery, on-site installation and commissioning, fruit wine fermentation process guidance, and operator skill training. The whole solution was designed for small-batch, multi-SKU flexible production to fit the client’s brand positioning.

The production line covers the full process from fresh fruit input to finished bottled product, with all equipment made of food-grade 304 stainless steel.

Client Testimonial
“We had zero experience in wine production before, and Allylinkmachine guided us through every step. They not only delivered high-quality equipment, but also helped us adjust the fermentation process according to the characteristics of Thai tropical fruits, making our wine taste more suitable for both local and tourist consumers. The flexible production design is perfect for our business — we can produce small batches of different flavors according to market demand without wasting raw materials. This is a very satisfactory cooperation.”
