Tucked away in the heart of Chishui’s otherworldly Danxia landform, Guizhou, Drunken Immortal Valley Winery Guesthouse is all about two things: wine and nature, crafting a dreamy escape where you can truly live and wander at ease. Step through the door, and you’ll be greeted by red cliffs and crystal-clear streams winding right past the house. Spin around, and you’re instantly enveloped in a space brimming with wine aroma—this isn’t just a place to crash after a long trip; it’s your ticket to diving deep into Chishui’s unique local vibe.
Housed in a revamped century-old winery, the guesthouse nails that cool mix of old and new: weathered wooden beams and rough-hewn bluestone walls pair seamlessly with sleek, minimalist modern design. All 28 rooms draw their names from local wine culture, and every window frames a stunning view—either rolling terraced tea gardens or the winery’s own cellars. Plus, some rooms come with private hot tubs, perfect for soaking your tired muscles while breathing in the mellow scent of wine.
The public areas are where the fun really happens. Head to the daily wine-making experience zone to watch age-old brewing techniques in action—you can even roll up your sleeves and join in mixing starters or stirring the fermenting mash. The wine culture exhibition hall is a treasure trove, displaying tools from the Ming and Qing dynasties up to today, all telling the epic thousand-year story of wine in the Chishui River Valley. And don’t miss the panoramic terrace—it’s the best spot to catch the Danxia sunset. Grab a glass of the winery’s homemade Maotai-style rice wine, and let the sunset glow and wine aroma wrap you up in a memory you’ll never forget.
When it comes to food, the guesthouse sticks to a simple rule: local ingredients, wine-infused flair. Try the signature dishes like braised pork with distiller’s grains or steamed cured pork with wine starter—all veggies and meat come straight from nearby farmers’ organic gardens, ultra-fresh to the table. Mornings start with a hearty, healthy breakfast of local tofu pudding and sweet potato glutinous rice balls. Evenings? Book a terrace BBQ, kick back with friends and family in the mountain breeze, sip some wine, and soak up Chishui’s laid-back, cozy charm.
Whether you’re looking to unwind after a hike through the Danxia landscape, dive deep into wine culture as a fan, or take the kids on a fun nature field trip, Drunken Immortal Valley Winery Guesthouse uses wine as its magic touch. It’s where every traveler can find their own little slice of poetic, wine-scented paradise, right in the middle of mountains and rivers.
"The first time I tried to live in the winery, it was unexpected. Although in the factory area, there is no roar of machines, no silk bamboo around the ears, and there is a light cicada. There is a path up the mountain next to the room, and the gaps in the stone steps are decorated with small wine bottles, and every place is exquisite and meticulous. The place where the mountain rests, the breeze is breezy in the morning and evening, the heat of the red water is swept, facing the mountain, and there is a feeling of ”seeing Nanshan leisurely”.
The service was great 👍🏻 Xiaoyan helped turn on the air conditioner before we arrived at the store, and helped prepare breakfast according to our eating habits, because the only ”driver” at home could not drive the wine tasting, and sent us to the town.
Mr. Wang from the factory took us to visit the distillery workshop, wine cellar...
The wine culture, vivid and interesting, we all love it when we never drink. All never sell wine to us.
One attempt, we stayed for two more nights, met Director Chen, the enthusiastic Director Chen introduced us to the inheritance and culture of sauce-flavored wine. The first time I stayed in the store, I felt like a cultural trip (wine culture).
We never drank, so we decided to bring two bottles."
