Introduction
Tourists who enjoy delicious food and wine love to go to wineries in Europe. But without going abroad, you can experience the romantic atmosphere right here in Taiwan. Entering the Castle Wine Vineyard grounds in Yongfeng, Waipu, Taichung, tourists can see grapes growing in clusters. Sitting at the table with a glass of wine, you can sip at the sweet and dry wine, enjoy the gentle breeze and sunshine penetrating through the vines in the afternoon and get lost in the beautiful scenery.
The owner of the vineyard, Liu Chin-Hu, was originally involved in real estate, but as his father grew older, he decided to take over the family business in his hometown. He discovered a river terrace high in the north and low in the south composed of glutenite. It is rich with organic substances and minerals. The area is also downstream of Daan River, Daxueshan, where pure water flows. Every year, it blows a northwest wind rich with salt, providing a great environment to grow grapes grown for delicious wine. Accordingly, Liu Chin-Hu applied to change from growing fruit and vegetables to grow grapes for a winery. By growing grapes, making and selling wine on his own, he hopes that more people will get to know the great wine made in Taiwan.
