    I dont know if we were unlucky because we went on a week day, but the place seemed to be half abandoned. You pass by a first building literally abandoned, and then go to the main building were you...

Currently, it brews high-quality wine that has even been used at dinners for major summits. You can buy some wine at the shop, or try lunch with wine while looking out over the vineyard.

    Lovely range of wines and reasonable prices and other products such as local cheeses and hams. I only stopped there for an hour or so to pick a few bottles of Japanese wine as I was passing through...

    This winery has followed the motto make the best, even if that means making only one barrel since it was founded in 1937. The winery offers two types of winery tours on an irregular basis. Both types require a reservation.

    勝沼のちょうど中央部に位置するワイナリーです。 しかし玄関はそれほど大きくないので、車で行く場合は事前に下調べして行かれることをお勧めします。比較的、道路上の案内板が多く出ています。 ショップはワイン展示の棚に置いて販売するスタイルではなく、スタッフの後ろに数本だけ置いてあるだけで、カタログから選ぶような形になります。 ワインそのものに自信があるのだと思います。最近はこういうスタイルが多いような...

    The Amanohashidate Winery makes its own wine from grapes they cultivate in vineyards looking out on Amanohashidate. Guests enjoy wine tastings and a lunch buffet featuring handmade dishes with plenty of local ingredients. Their original white wine soft serve ice cream comes recommended, as does their Baby Wine, like a sparkling wine in the process of fermenting that you can only drink there. You could only get such flavors at a winery.

    系列の宿に宿泊し、その時頂いたワインも購入したくて訪れました。宿から無料クーポンを貰っていたので白ワインソフトクリームを建物裏のぶどう畑に面したテラスで味わいました。後味にふんわりワインの香りがする美味でした。 コロナ禍だからか(?)テイスティングやガイドツアーをやってないというのが残念でした。天橋立駅周辺の観光スポットから離れているのでわざわざ足を運んだビジターばかりなのに少しサービスに欠けるか...

    Nagano Pref. Shiojirishi Seba 783
    This is a winery representing Kikyogahara built in 1916 in Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture. Passed on by between three generations of parent and child, the high quality wine has been well received at competitions at home and abroad. The grapes grown in the natural extreme heat and cold of Kikyogahara have a flavor only this region can make. Using grapes from their own plantation and contracted field, the wine is not just brewed in traditional fashion but in a number of free variations. In the shop one can enjoy wine samples, and even have a look down in the underground cellar (groups of 10 or more need prior booking).
