    2泊3日旅行で銀山温泉行く途中寄ってきました。店内は、桃やブドウ‥が売られていたり、桃やブドウを使ったパフェ‥食べれるようになっている。今の季節は、ブドウ狩もやっているので、ブドウ狩の説明ビデオが流れていた。桃のパフェを食べましたか、果肉は、和歌山や岡山、山梨、福島と違って堅めだった。(アイスは美味しかったよ)山形の桃は果肉が堅めらしいが、馴染みないのか、ゴリゴリに感じるので、柔らかい方が好きです...

    Yamagata Pref. Nanyoushi Akayu 2836
    This vineyard has been operated by a long-established winery since the Taisho period. In addition to wine varieties of grapes, they cultivate a number of grape varieties for picking too. Visitors come from all around the country during grape-picking season—early August to mid-October. From grape cultivation to fermentation, the family does every step for themselves, creating a limited number of bottles of their original wine brand, which you are unlikely to find through normal distribution channels.

    JRの赤湯駅から車で、10分ほどでしょうか。こちらのワイナリーは大正時代からワインを作っている老舗です。100%手作りで手間ひまをかけています。自家畑で育てられたぶどうが大切に作られてます。市場に出回らない希少なワインもありますよ

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
