At the foot of the Kuju Mountain Range, vineyards stretch out endlessly.
A soothing breeze blows here.
Everything begins from this vineyard.
Having started grape cultivation in 2002, we arrived at an appreciation of the importance of both grapes and people.
In this land where refreshing, at times harsh, winds blow, we craft our wine with heartfelt devotion.

A winery surrounded by the magnificent natural landscape of Kuju.
The sweeping vineyards facing the grand Kuju mountain range are impressive in scale.
This is a cool highland area at an elevation of 850 meters.
Our six hectares of vineyards lie on south-facing mountain slopes. Without relying on contract growers, our own staff cultivate European wine-grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, using vertical trellising and controlling yields.
At the Stone-Oven Workshop restaurant, we serve stone-oven pizzas and other dishes cooked in the stone oven, along with Italian cuisine made with vegetables from our own fields and local farms, all designed to pair beautifully with wine. Barbecue is also available with advance reservation.
We offer a wide variety of seating, including standard restaurant tables, terrace seating overlooking the vineyards, a covered terrace with grapevines growing across the ceiling, and private rooms where pets are welcome.
Spend a luxurious holiday on the plateau with a glass of wine in hand.
