The signing ceremony of the International Wine Industrial Park project was held at the city’s Shangri-la Hotel on December 6.
The three parties involved, the Administrative Committee of Dalian Free Trade Zone, Dalian Haichang Group and France’s Lamont Winery Group, attended the signing ceremony.
The park will focus on grape growing, grape processing and brewing. It will also integrate the grape processing industry into tourism activities that are already built on large-scale metropolitan agriculture and urban leisure. The planting area of grapes will hit 5,000 mu (333.3 hectares).
Well-known French brewers will be invited to supervise wine making and production to create the world’s top-grade wine brand in Dalian. One of the most rapidly growing industries in China. In recent years, China’s wine production and consumption market had maintained a growth rate of above 15 percent, and the market growth rate of first-tier cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing has surpassed 35 percent
