Experience Details
Spend 8 days traveling throughout Yunnan’s Tibetan region wine tasting, feasting on incredible Tibetan and local minority cuisine, and getting up close and personal with some of the highest peaks in China.
Highlights Include:
- The local cuisine throughout Yunnan is just as varied and special as the minorities that make it. Try a huge variety of homemade dishes in small villages and homes, like this cured pork and bean stew.
- Visit villages far off the tourist track filled with local minority groups that live like they have for generations.
- Explore stunning local wineries to taste a variety of locally produced red and white wines and learn about the history behind the winemakers.
- Discover Yubeng Village, known locally as "heaven on earth," which sits below Yunnan's highest peak and is only accessible via a bumpy jeep ride over high mountain passes.
- Climb up to see the largest Tibetan Monastery in Yunnan at the top of a pedestrian-only village outside of Shangrila.
