The Changyu International Grape and Wine City Tour takes place at Changyu's dedicated estate in the Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, a sister site to the company's original Zhifu District museum, built to showcase its wider winemaking operations on a working estate scale. The route covers three main stops: the Gothic-style chateau building modeled on European wine estates, a working vineyard walk through Changyu's own grape plantings, and the winemaking production facility where fermentation tanks and bottling equipment are viewed from designated visitor walkways. The tour ends with a tasting of Changyu wines and, depending on the package selected, its brandy line. The ¥120-180 ticket includes access to all three stops and the tasting; higher-tier packages add a larger tasting flight or additional brandy samples, while transit between the city center and the Development Zone site is not included and is usually arranged separately by taxi or ride-hailing app. The vineyard walk is outdoors and unshaded, so it is best suited to April through October when the vines are in leaf or fruit; visits outside this window still cover the chateau and production facility but skip most of the vineyard's visual appeal. Group sizes are generally small, self-paced or with a local guide depending on the package, and commentary is primarily in Chinese.

  • Combine with the Zhifu District wine museum on the same day only if travel time between the two sites is planned

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this tour and the Changyu Wine Culture Museum?

This tour visits Changyu's larger estate in the Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, with a working vineyard and production facility, while the museum tour focuses on the company's history and underground cellar in Zhifu District.

Is brandy tasting included?

Brandy tasting depends on the package selected; the higher-priced ¥180 tier typically includes brandy samples alongside the standard wine tasting.

Is the vineyard walk suitable in winter?

The vineyard can be visited year-round, but the vines are bare outside the April to October growing season, so the chateau and production facility become the main draw in winter.

How is transit to the site arranged?

Transit is not included in the ticket price; visitors typically arrange a taxi or ride-hailing app to reach the Development Zone estate from central Yantai.
