Day by Day Itinerary
01 Roast Lamb Feast
Arrival & Check-In: Airport pick-up is included from Yinchuan’s Hedong Airport (INC).
Dinner: Kick off the evening with a roast lamb feast paired with wines from Sweet Dew, a winery run by Ningxia’s only millennial winemaker, who does it all: manages the vineyard, designs the labels, and even packs and shipping every bottle by hand.
02 Wine Tasting, Hotpot Dinner
Silver Heights: Visit one of China’s most internationally acclaimed wineries, led by Bordeaux-trained Emma Gao – a true pioneer of Chinese fine wine. Emma has earned global recognition for her elegant wines, first planted by her father in 1997.
Lunch: Enjoy a selection of home-style dishes including wild veggies and stew.
Mountain Wave: Ran by a couple who studied winemaking overseas, they took a big bet by planting “less popular” grape varieties when they started in 2015 (Malbec, Marselan, and Pinot Noir). Come find out how their bet has paid off.
Domaine Charme: This architect-owned winery is nestled beneath a mountain peak shaped like a Buddha’s face. Every detail is intentional – from the “Pyramid of Charme,” aligned with the meridian to channel energy between heaven and earth, to a wine cellar designed for natural airflow. Their organically cultivated, gravity-brewed wines are just as unique as the place itself.
Legacy Peak: This family-run boutique winery cultivates 9 hectares of hand-planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. Known for its sustainable practices and meticulous vineyard care, it has earned a reputation as one of China’s most exciting and promising wineries.
Dinner: Enjoy another local specialty, lamb hotpot prepared with a special soup made of local herbs and red wine!
03 Wine Tasting
Xiban Winery:
Visit this boutique winery in Qingtongxia, where founder Jin Jiarui transformed his passion for European wine into a vision for world-class Chinese bottles. Explore their modern facilities and underground oak barrel cellar while tasting their expressive Chardonnay, Marselan, and award-winning Tempranillo.
Xige Estate Wine Tasting & Lunch: As the region’s largest producer of quality wine with 1,300 hectares, they offer a wide range of varietals – from Cabernet Sauvignon to Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. We’ll tour their state-of-the-art facilities, taste their wines, and enjoy lunch at their organic in-house restaurant.
Chateau Huahao: Led by a former mayor with a passion for great wine, this winery is named for the spirit of China (Hua) and the legacy of Ningxia’s Xixia dynasty (Hao). Among their lineup, we’ll try Liumugao, their signature wine named after the highest peak in the region.
Airport Transfer: Drop-off is included to Yangshuo’s INC airport.
