About this event

Step into the captivating world of modern viticulture with a fun and educational wine tasting focused entirely on the Chinese wine revolution .

China has rapidly transformed into one of the world’s most exciting wine frontiers, and a structured tasting offers an eye-opening journey through its diverse, high-altitude terroirs.

The session kicks off with an interactive breakdown of China's primary winemaking regions, challenging common preconceptions with surprising facts and blind tastings. Guests learn how the arid, desert-fringed foothills of Ningxia require burying vines by hand each winter to protect them from freezing temperatures, while the mist-shrouded, terraced slopes of Yunnan sit thousands of metres above sea level near the Himalayas. The educational flight guides your palate through unique regional expressions.

Tasters will discover bold, award-winning Bordeaux-style blends that have become China’s signature wines, boasting notes of dark fruit, purple flowers, and fresh mint.

Led by an engaging sommelier, this tasting is a lively, sensory exploration that leaves wine enthusiasts with a newfound appreciation for the innovation, ancient history, and remarkable future shaping the vineyards of the Far East.
