Tibetan Village Vineyard Walk
Walk through the four Tibetan villages that supply grapes to Ao Yun: Adong, Xidang, Sinong, and Shuori. Meet the farmers who tend these vines exactly as their grandparents did for the French missionaries. See traditional Tibetan farmhouses with prayer flags. Understand how LVMH adapted to local culture rather than replacing it. The terraces here are steeper than anywhere in Europe.
