Penglai is an ancient city leaning on the mountains and embracing the sea, and has been known as the "fairyland on earth" since ancient times, with profound historical and cultural heritage. In recent years, the terroir has become more widely known and has attracted some wineries to choose the site. Among them is the domaine de long dai established by the well-known French group Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite in Penglai, which is the group's first winery in Asia. Runaway Cow Winery is also located in this fairyland, enjoying the nourishment of Penglai's terroir.
Runaway Ridge Winery.
The name of the winery also has a lot of roots. According to legend, there was a drunken golden bull who ran away to Penglai Wonderland and was reluctant to leave, and the name "Escape Cow Ridge" was derived from this. At the same time, "Escape from the Cow" also symbolizes a temporary refuge from the busy city life, where people can enjoy the infinite beauty of wine.

Winery Reviews
Bright ruby red in colour, the wine exudes an elegant and complex aroma with intense notes of red fruits such as hawthorn and strawberry, with hints of freshness from mint and honeysuckle, balanced and supple on the palate, fruity and intriguing on the finish with graphite and violet notes.
