    Yamagata Pref. Kaminoyamashi Yotsuya 2-6-1
    This is a winery in Yotsuya, Kaminoyama City. Since its founding in 1920, this winery has been conscientiously producing grapes under natural conditions of minimal chemicals and organic fertilizers.

Tours of the vineyard are free (reservations required), which includes visiting the fields and the brewery. Wine tasting at the adjoining bar is available for a small fee.

    Yamagata Nanyo-shi Akayu 2836
    This is a winery located about 10 minutes by car from the JR Akayu station. All of the winemaking operations, from cultivation, harvesting, fermenting, and finally bottling are done by hand at this family-operated winery. Here at the Shikin Vineyards, although there are dedicated wine vineyards, from early August to mid-October some vineyards are open to the public for grape picking. The Nanyo Wine made here is similar to German white wine that is slightly dry with a hint of sweetness.

    Yamagata Nanyo-shi Akayu 980
    This is a winery located about 5 minutes by car from the JR Akayu station. This historic winery, founded in 1892, is the oldest in the Tohoku region. Since its founding, this winery prides itself in making quality non-filtered, non-pasteurized old fashioned wine. In addition to winery tours, one can enjoy wine tasting and on-site purchase of the wines. In addition to the barrel-fermented Mujinasawa wine which combines five varieties of grapes cultivated in their own vineyards, the winery sells the Chardonnay, packed with delicious bitterness and a full-bodied fruitiness, and the Yamabudo Geneki which is 100% straight no additive grape juice.

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.
