Ao Yun is a distinguished winery located in the Himalayan region of Yunnan, China. The name "Ao Yun" translates to "flying above the clouds," reflecting its unique high-altitude vineyards situated between 2,200 and 2,600 meters above sea level. Established by Moët Hennessy, Ao Yun embarked on an ambitious journey to craft world-class wines in China.
After a four-year search for the ideal terroir, the vineyards were planted in 2013 across four villages: Xidang, Sinong, Shuori, and Adong. These locations offer diverse soil types, sun exposure, and microclimates, contributing to the complexity and distinctiveness of Ao Yun's wines.

The name "Xiaoling" in Mandarin translates to "cloudy mountain peak," reflecting the majestic landscape and the spirit of the proud inhabitants of this region. The winery is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that elegantly express the nature and labor of the people from these remote villages.
