Good wine begins with good grapes.
Funao Town, a Muscat-growing area beside Kurashiki’s famous Bikan Historical Quarter, is blessed by the abundant waters of the Takahashi River and a mild climate.
Along with these gifts of climate and terroir, the passion and years of effort of everyone involved in grape growing are what finally produce delicious grapes and wine.
Located in southwestern Okayama Prefecture, the area enjoys a mild climate and the abundant waters of the Takahashi River.
Temperature variation throughout the year is relatively small, and rainfall is exceptionally low even by Okayama standards.
The hills are equipped with irrigation facilities, and the well-drained soils are highly suitable for grape growing.
The high-quality grapes grown here are also highly regarded in markets throughout Japan.
Gentle sweetness and acidity, refined fragrance, and translucent emerald green.
Producing Muscat of Alexandria at the highest quality requires close attention to even slight changes in temperature and the condition of the vines. Growers tend them with the care of raising a child, continually working and researching to harvest fruit of ever better quality.
We specialize in producing and selling Muscat wine made from Muscat of Alexandria grown in Funao, Kurashiki City, one of Japan's major production areas.
Spend a leisurely time at our winery surrounded by the nature of Mt. Atago, colored by seasonal flowers and plants. Nearby attractions include an observation point overlooking Kurashiki City and opportunities for birdwatching amid the rich natural surroundings.
