Amazing Wine Tasting in Yunnan Shangri-La Plateau - Eatwith

Host introduction

Hello everyone, I am Danny, Eatwith’s host in Dali. Because of my love for winemaking, I switched from the computer industry to the wine industry. After studying viticulture and winemaking at Lincoln University in New Zealand, I worked at Stoneridge Winery/Waipara Hill in New Zealand. After working and studying at famous wineries such as the Winery/Australian Yellow Tail Kangaroo Winery/Sydney Brew Pack Brewery/Yunnan Aoyun Winery, he founded his own independent winemaker brand "Xiqi Wine" in Yunnan. "Those who work or pretend to be exposed to a fate that is preordained and rarely shown mercy, suffer much more than those who are truly idle," Pessoa said. So since I have to work, I choose to do something that at least makes me happy, and that is making wine.
