Located on the hillside site in Qinhuangdao, Great Wall Winery is the largest wine producer in China. The expansion of their headquarters includes a visitors center, tasting rooms, and hotel.

The landscape design maximizes the natural conditions of the site, including grading transitions, hillside plantings, and material selections, to embrace the new visitor center and hotel and create a world class experience.

COFCO Group is one of the largest food and beverage producers in China with aspirations to elevate its position throughout the country by hosting conferences and education focused on its agricultural history and processing.

The contemporary architecture and landscape design of the Visitor Center and Hotel is nestled into the hillside with broad vistas nearly reaching the Yellow Sea, where the Great Wall meets the sea. Steep hillsides of sandstone colored stone lined with Sycamores and Pines make up the palette of the composed landscape as well.

BORDER created a landscape of strong, natural expressions and materials to frame the architectural jewel of the Visitor Center and Hotel to bring a level of quality and character to the experience of the winery that matches the quality of wine grown, produced and served on site.
