2017年RVF中國優秀葡萄酒年度大獎 銀獎
怡園酒莊（Grace Vineyard）位於距中國山西省太原市以南40公里的太谷縣。具有典型的大陸性氣候：四季分明，乾旱、雨水少，且日照充足，晝夜溫差大，是種植釀酒葡萄的理想地帶。在著名波爾多葡萄酒學者Denis Boubals的協助下，香港企業家陳進強先生與法國的詹威爾先生於1997年創立怡園酒莊。
2002年陳進強把營運交給女兒陳芳。今天的怡園酒莊獲得了國際葡萄酒界的好評，包括著名的酒評家Jancis Robinson、James Halliday以及《Decanter》、《Wine Spectator》等專業雜誌的肯定。現在酒莊把市場擴展到香港、日本、新加坡、英國、比利時及荷蘭。

RVF CHINESE WINE AWARDS 2017 - Silver Medal
Grace Vineyard is located in Taigu, 40km south of Taiyuan, the capital city of China's Shanxi Province. Taigu has a continental climate with distinct seasonal variations. The clean air combined with the Bordeaux-like free-draining sandy soils provide ideal conditions for quality wine grape cultivation.
Mr Chun-Keung Chan and Mr. Sylvain Janvier from France founded Grace Vineyard in 1997, with the assistance of renowned Bordeaux oenologist Denis Boubals. Chan's vision is to build the estate into a family legacy.
In 2002, he passed the day-to-day running of the estate to his daughter, Judy Chan. Under her leadership, the winery has won international recognition – including from leading wine critics such as Jancis Robinson MW and James Halliday, as well as magazines such as Decanter and Wine Spectator. The winery has also expanded its market beyond Hong Kong and China, to Japan, Singapore, Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands.
