The Dynasty Fine Wines Group, China’s premiere winemaker, has opened a European style chateau in Tianjin, China.
The mock classical structure echoes the Palace of Versailles, spans 11,000 square meters and features spires, battlements and marble statues that pay tribute to Dionysus, the Greek God of Wine. Also sitting prominently at the front of the property is a glass and metallic structure styled after The Louvre in Paris.
An underground museum beneath this striking pyramid explains the history of wine and winemaking; from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome to the most celebrated vineyards of France and the New World. Exhibits range from ancient wine urns and historic bottles to antique winemaking equipment and tools.
The chateau itself is filled with Regency furnishings and antiques including historic tapestries, medieval suits of armour and an armchair owned by 16th century French author Michel de Montaigne. Elsewhere you’ll also find grand exhibition halls showcasing the world’s top vintages including priceless Rémy Martin cognacs.
Aside from being a wine hub, Chateau Dynasty is also a banqueting, events and conference venue boasting a vast dining hall that can seat up to 400 people, 22 guest rooms and a spa specialising in treatments that use grape essence.
Dynasty’s Chairman and Executive Director Mr. Bai Zhisheng said: “Chateau Dynasty marks a significant milestone in our development, which also includes a huge expansion of production capacity.”
“The wine industry has been growing steadily in China over the years and we are very proud to be part of it. Dynasty is committed to popularising wine knowledge and helping Chinese consumers understand the wine culture and identify good wine. The chateau will also organise various regular exhibitions and workshops on French and Chinese wine, food and culture to build up a platform of wine tasting, promotion, trade and storage for wine lovers in China.”
Dynasty is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary.
