Speaking of autumn, it is the season of nouveau wine.
Starting with Beaujolais Nouveau, it is the time of year when Japanese wine nouveaux also hit the market.
Amid this season, we discovered a unique event where you can enjoy "Yamanashi Nouveau."
That is the "Bonfire Wine Salon," held from November 3 to November 30 at the resort hotel in the Yatsugatake area, "Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake."
Let's introduce what kind of event it is here.
Wine by the Bonfire!?
In recent years, "bonfires" have been growing in popularity.
The "Bonfire Wine Salon" is open on the main street, "Piment Street."
Sofas are arranged around the bonfires, and cushions and blankets are also provided, allowing you to surround the bonfire and gaze at the flickering flames.
Now, the highlight of this event is "Yamanashi Nouveau."
You can enjoy it in this luxurious space gathered around the bonfire.
Nagano Nouveau Too!
At this event, 10 varieties each of nouveau wines from Yamanashi and Nagano Prefectures are scheduled to be served daily from a kitchen car on Piment Street.
The official release date for the nouveau wine "Yamanashi Nouveau" is November 3, so you can enjoy it in this space right on release day.
In addition to Yamanashi Nouveau, they will reportedly also feature Nagano nouveau wines and a wide variety of local nouveaux.
On an autumn evening, what will the wine taste like as you listen to the crackling sound of firewood...?
It is an irresistible setting for Japanese wine fans.
Roasted Chestnuts Make an Appearance Too!
Now, with such wonderful wines available, you might wonder about the food.
At "Bonfire Wine Salon," "Castagnaccio," a traditional baked treat using chestnut flour from Italy's Tuscany region, and "Torta di Castagnaccio," arranged in RISONARE Yatsugatake style, are offered as a set.
Since "Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake" was built with the image of an Italian mountain town, the snacks paired with the nouveau wines also carry an Italian flair.
The set of subtly sweet roasted chestnuts and baked sweets is a perfect pairing with fresh nouveau wines.
Unwind with a Bonfire and Wine!
"Bonfire Wine Salon" runs from November 3 to November 30, from 15:00 to 17:30.
It is open to both hotel guests and day visitors, so anyone can drop by casually and enjoy it.
This past summer offered few opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Why not relax and unwind this autumn with a bonfire and wine?
