Go Beyond Shangrila for Wine & Tibetan Culture of Yunnan

Spend six days exploring Yunnans Tibetan region on a journey filled with wine tasting, incredible local cuisine, and breathtaking high-altitude landscapes. You will stay five nights in comfortable accommodations and enjoy all meals, including beer and wine when available at dinner. Each day, private transportation will take you to small ethnic minority villages, wineries, and cultural attractions, with mineral water provided along the way. An English-speaking Lost Plate trip leader will guide you throughout the trip, and airport pick-up in Lijiang and drop-off in Shangrila are included. While there will be opportunities for shopping during free time, this tour focuses on authentic experiences rather than shopping. Before departure, you will also have access to an online pre-trip briefing and question and answer session.

The itinerary highlights Yunnans rich culinary and cultural diversity. You will taste a variety of homemade dishes in small villages, explore local wineries and learn about the winemaking history, and spin the worlds largest Tibetan prayer wheel. Shangrila old-town offers cobblestone streets and pagoda-filled squares, and a visit to the largest Tibetan monastery in Yunnan provides insight into local religious life. You will also meet a Tibetan family in the grasslands to sample traditional butter tea, homemade yogurt, and highland barley bread. This immersive journey combines food, culture, and stunning landscapes for an unforgettable experience in Yunnans Tibetan region.
