Ao Yun & Shangri-La: An Immersive Fine Wine Experience

Some wine regions are best understood not only through taste, but through the world that gives them shape.

This event offers a more immersive introduction to Shangri-La — a landscape of altitude, craftsmanship and cultural depth that has helped define one of the most compelling chapters in contemporary Chinese fine wine. It is also a closer look at the story behind Ao Yun: why LVMH spent four years searching before choosing Shangri-La, and how vineyards rising from 2,200 to 2,600 metres came to produce a wine of such rarity and distinction.

For this special edition in Singapore, we bring together four exceptional partners — across wine, hospitality, travel and cultural storytelling — to shape one shared experience. Together, we bring wine, hospitality, place, and cultural storytelling into a single immersive encounter.

Over the course of this two-hour immersion, we will guide you through Shangri-La from two complementary perspectives: the wine itself, and the wider world around it — its land, altitude, food culture, people and stories. Led by Joseph of WineKool and Sylvia Yang, Founder of Bespoke Summer, the afternoon is designed not simply as a tasting, but as a richer way of entering the region.

Across the afternoon, you will experience:

• A rare immersive fine wine experience inspired by Ao Yun and the Shangri-La region — designed to bring you closer not only to a wine story, but to the landscape and cultural world behind it
• Three premium Chinese wines with a combined bottle value of over S$500
• Curated bites inspired by Yunnan and Shangri-La, created to echo the flavours, ingredients and spirit of the region
• A deeper understanding of why LVMH chose Shangri-La, and what makes this one of the world’s most distinctive high-altitude wine landscapes
• A richer encounter with the people and place behind the bottle, through insights from both wine and travel perspectives
• A blind tasting and shared conversation, designed to make the afternoon more vivid, social and memorable
• Exclusive attendee privileges and a surprise gift from the region
• A wider invitation into the world of Shangri-La itself — not only as a wine region, but as a living landscape that can be experienced more deeply, including through travel
