About the Château Mercian Prestige Passport
The Château Mercian Prestige Passport is a one-year subscription that delivers carefully selected Château Mercian wines and also includes a variety of member benefits.
For 2025–2026 there are two courses: “Shinku,” for guests who want to enjoy only red wines, and “Saiin,” for those who want a balanced selection of red, white and rosé.
The Two Courses
The “Shinku” course selects only outstanding reds from Château Mercian’s three wineries, including icon wines.
Some of the wines to be delivered include:
- Château Mercian Mariko Omnis 2022
- Château Mercian Suzaka Tannat 2022
- Château Mercian Kikyougahara Merlot Signature 2022
- Château Mercian Kataoka 2023
Twelve wines are delivered over the year—three bottles on four occasions—making this a compelling course for red-wine fans.
The “Saiin” course includes wines such as:
- Château Mercian Niitsuru Albariño 2021
- Château Mercian Jyonohira Rosé 2023
- Château Mercian Mariko 2023

This course also delivers 12 bottles over the year—three bottles on four occasions—and is designed for those who want a well-balanced range of styles.
Some of the delivered wines are available only at the wineries or online shop, making the selection especially valuable.
It is a special program made possible by Château Mercian’s broad portfolio of Japanese wines.
