Your first stop is the Huailai Amethyst Manor, a leading vineyard in Huailai that has mastered the balance between modern techniques and time-honored traditions. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the estate’s staff and guided through an enchanting landscape of rolling vineyards set against a backdrop of pristine mountains.

This interactive experience will leave you with a newfound appreciation for Chinese wines and the skill required to craft them.

Next, you’ll head to Canaan Winery, an estate that represents the perfect fusion of Chinese and French winemaking philosophies. Established through a partnership with experienced vintners from Bordeaux, this winery integrates traditional French craftsmanship with the rich natural resources of Huailai. As you wander through the estate, you will learn about the role of French expertise in shaping the winery’s techniques, from grape selection to oak barrel aging. You’ll visit the high-tech production facilities, where precision meets artistry in creating wines of exceptional quality. The highlight here is another wine tasting session, offering you the chance to compare different varietals and understand how factors such as climate, soil composition, and winemaking methods contribute to the complexity of each bottle. Whether you prefer bold reds or elegant whites, this experience will deepen your understanding of the art of winemaking. The winery staff will be on hand to answer any questions, provide pairing recommendations, and help you select a bottle as a perfect souvenir of your visit.

After a delightful exploration of China’s flourishing wine culture, your journey continues to one of the most legendary landmarks in the world—the Juyongguan Great Wall. As you approach this magnificent section of the Great Wall, your guide will recount the dramatic history of this strategic mountain pass, which played a vital role in protecting China’s northern frontier.

Your guide will lead you through the best-preserved parts of the fortifications, offering a vivid narration of the battles and historical events that shaped the Wall’s legacy. As you ascend its well-maintained steps, you’ll have the chance to admire stunning panoramic views, taking in the impressive sight of the Great Wall snaking through the rugged mountains.
