Yamagata Prefecture is known as a fruit kingdom.
Among its regions, Kaminoyama City is ideal for fruit cultivation thanks to its basin climate and abundant sunlight.
Originating from an orchard primarily focused on growing such fruits is "Woody Farm & Winery."
Vast fields of La France pears stretch out before you reach the winery.
Beyond the expansive orchard stands the winery building.
We spoke with winemaker Mr. Kanehara to learn about the charms of Woody Farm & Winery.
True to its name, the wooden winery building had a somewhat comforting and gentle atmosphere.
Reflecting this, the taste of the wine is also natural and serene.
Kaminoyama is a wonderful place that we also introduced in our recent news about the "Yamagata Wine Bal".
Be sure to pay a visit for an outing this upcoming summer.
