“How big? well, all you can see is our vineyard.”
Owner of Shu Sheug Leisure Domaine, Jipei Hong answered our question straightforwardly. Indeed, looking down from Shu Sheug Leisure Domaine, a vast vineyard belongs to it. Shu Sheug Leisure Domaine has not only a large vineyard but also a history of more than 50 years. It is one of the wineries pioneered to make wine.
According to the media, “Putao wine” from Shu Sheug Leisure Domaine has won 6 gold, 7 silver medals and one 1st prize. It is also the first Taiwanese wine served in French Michelin Restaurants. Seeing such a great record, we assume the wine lovers would like to come and check it out.

Coming to the Domaine, tourists can visit the fruit garden but fruit picking is not allowed because the varietals in Shu Sheug Leisure Domaine are wine grapes, not table grapes. We followed Jipei HONG walking down the hills and saw green grapes hanging on the vines whose age may be older than us and witnessed the history of Taiwan wine industry.
Wanna see the big green grapes? Come in mid July when the grapes are ripe and ready for harvest, the view of the garden is very beautiful. Though fruit picking is not available, tourists can still visit the winery. After being instructed by the Council of Agriculture for years, The Agriculture and Food Agency, Farmers’ Association and experts, the wine making equipment in Shu Sheug Leisure Domaine is state of the art, and through the introduction, tourists can easily understand the skills and process of wine making. Seeing many French imported barrels in the winery, I couldn’t help getting excited being here by the pride of Taiwan.
If you and friends are interested in wine, welcome to make a reservation for a group tour. Either groups or families are welcomed to feel the charm of Taiwan wine, and learn the wine making process. Also, bring a bottle of fine wine to your taste home. Don’t miss it because there is no second place to find their products.
