The sudden drop in temperature is no match for Beijing’s wine scene, and the latest issue of Agenda – out now – will point you in the direction of the capital’s best wines to match the colors of the changing leaves. Hilton Beijing Sommelier Julia Zhu takes some time off from her Wine Club and the preparations for the International Food and Wine Experience to show you the way.

Keep your hands warm with a fistful of interviews with the hottest chefs, restaurateurs and more, including Chefs Igor Macchia of Fratellifresh and Marco Sacco of the newly opened River Club, Wine importers Gai Yongjun of Palette Wines and Davide Valentini and Matteo Marzio of Opera Wines. Other interesting people you’ll come across in this issue include Crystal Bell, Red Gate Gallery’s residency program director, Lionel Derimais, the photographer who brings you Nicely Made in China, and Gerry McElligot, the man who builds the little trains that can change the world!

If you’re feeling a touch of grape fatigue this fall, be sure to check out Agenda’s list of the Chinese liquors that will keep you warm while you explore the historic hutongs outlined in our Back Alley Bounty list.

That, plus Beijing’s best restaurants, night clubs and events, all in our latest issue!
