The visit near Beijing is COFCO Great Wall’s Château Sungod at Shacheng, on the Sanggan River.

The confirmed visit is Château Sungod (长城桑干), COFCO Great Wall’s estate at Dongshuiquan, Shacheng Town, Huailai County. The company dates it to 1979 and describes it as a national research base and the birthplace of Chinese dry wine. China Daily’s tourism page describes an underground cellar, a wine-culture museum, tasting and grape picking, and gives the telephone +86 313 683 1899. A 2019 admission price on that page is omitted.

Travel listings put the château on the order of 100 kilometres northwest of Beijing, on the Beijing–Zhangjiakou corridor. Recheck the train or the road, and the ticket, before you go.

Jancis Robinson’s Ningxia survey names COFCO Great Wall among the large companies in Chinese wine. The company site is greatwallwine.com.cn. This guide does not pretend to cover every Great Wall cellar. The Huailai château is the one with a published visit.
