Located in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, Fuji-san Winery describes itself as the winery closest to Mt. Fuji.
True to its name, the winery offers spectacular views, with majestic Mt. Fuji rising close by.
The winery operates five vineyards in Yamanashi and Shizuoka, mainly growing Koshu.
Through environmentally conscious sustainable farming, it works to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas of this unique indigenous Japanese variety.
A day tour is now on sale featuring a guided winery visit with the owners and a scenic lunch overlooking Mt. Fuji.
More Than a Winery: Tour World Heritage Sites with a World Heritage Sommelier
The tour is organized by the World Heritage Association, which operates a community connecting travel and food through World Heritage sites.
That means the itinerary includes not only the winery but also World Heritage locations around the foot of Mt. Fuji.
Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha, the head shrine of roughly 1,300 Sengen shrines nationwide, is also known as a spiritual destination associated with protection from misfortune, safe childbirth and child-rearing, matchmaking, good relationships, fire prevention, and abundant harvests.
The tour will be accompanied by association representative Reiko Sato.
Sato is active as both a certified World Heritage Sommelier and a Sommelier Excellence, and touring with her should add greater depth to each stop.
Wine and power spots in one day — if you're interested, early booking is recommended.
