About this Tour
Sample selected wines from the Maruki Winery and enjoy the convenience of round-trip hotel transportation from the city. Your private chauffeur will not only serve as your "designated driver," but will also share history and insight about the Yamanashi region.
The Maruki Winery is the oldest winery in Japan, located in the Yamanashi prefecture. Its 50 acres of vineyards are famous for being the birthplace of Koshu grapes, producing remarkable wines with a combination of flavors, from citrus (particularly Japanese yuzu) to yellow fruit. The Maruki Winery also produces red wines from Muscat Bailey A grapes, resulting in their wonderful aroma, reminiscent of strawberries.
For all the oenophiles who wish to discover and savor even more wines from Yamanashi, your chauffeur will gladly take you to two other wineries: the "Tomi no Oka winery" and the "Chateau Mercian winery". Each visit includes a tasting of unique, locally produced wines, a visit to the wine cellar, and a tour of the vineyard.
If you're looking for a relaxing, but also in depth look at the Yamanashi wine industry, we are here for you!
Outech also offers a variety of fruit picking tours in Yamanashi prefecture. The freshest fruit is the fruit taken straight off the tree. Apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, grapes, cherries, etc. (depending on the season), you will be able to tour local orchards that have all the makings of a great day trip for the whole family to enjoy. Outech can organize your yummy adventure with fruit picking in Japan: sampling the freshest fruit and enjoying the company of an expert guide to answer all your questions.
