Silk Road Winery is located in the Yili River Valley in Xinjiang, which is the westernmost wine-producing area in China. The Yili River Valley is surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains on three sides and is open to the west, welcoming warm and humid air currents from the Mediterranean.


The abundant sunshine throughout the year and the sudden temperature difference between day and night contribute to the accumulation of glucose. The sandy soil with good drainage and low fertility is conducive to the rooting and germination of grapevines.


The Yili River has abundant water flow, creating a paradise for the growth of wine grapes.
