From Saturday, February 4 to Sunday, May 7, 2023, "WINE & CIDER ACHIFAIR" will be held, offering over 40 types of Nagano wines and ciders.
Here are the details.
About "WINE & CIDER ACHIFAIR"
"WINE & CIDER ACHIFAIR" is an event held across four facilities operated by Achi Hirugami Tourism Bureau Co., Ltd. in Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture—known for Japan's starriest night sky: "Tourism Hub ACHI BASE," "SHOP & CAFÉ & about HIRUGAMI Hirugami Kiosk," "Achi Village Hoshizora Shokudo," and "Fujimidai Kogen Ropeway Heavens Sonohara," the venue for the Sky Paradise NIGHT TOUR.
Gathering over 40 varieties of wine and cider made in Nagano Prefecture—which boasts optimal environments for harvesting high-quality apples and grapes—all at once in Achi Village, this fair allows visitors to enjoy tastings and shop for Shinshu-produced wines and ciders.
Hirugami Onsen 50th Anniversary Special Event: "I LOVE WINE I LOVE CIDER Popularity Poll"
During the fair, a popularity poll is scheduled to be held exclusively for customers who purchase Nagano wine or cider.
50 lucky participants will be chosen by lottery to win Hirugami Onsen merchandise.
Furthermore, from those who voted for the winning side, 50 winners will be chosen by lottery to receive a bottle in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the opening of Hirugami Onsen.
Plans are also in place to gift wine bottles to 50 winners if wine wins, or cider bottles to 50 winners if cider wins.
