Takahata Winery was founded in 1990 as a winery that produces wine made from grapes grown in Yamagata Prefecture. The regions where the climate, temperature, soil, and topography are suitable for both grape cultivation and winemaking are concentrated at latitudes 30 to 50 degrees north and latitudes 20 to 40 degrees south, and are called the wine belt.

Takahata Winery is located at 38 degrees north latitude, the same latitude as America's famous high-end wine producing region Napa Valley, Greece, etc. It can be said that it is located in a land rich in nature and blessed with a winery.

Mahoroba no Sato wine factory

Takahata Winery aims to be a winery that can be enjoyed for sightseeing, and you can observe the wine production process at the factory. You can also tour an experimental farm growing Pinot Noir grapes.

The winery shop has a calm atmosphere and sells not only original wines only available at the shop, but also vintage wines, shochu, and pure rice sake, as well as juices made from winemaking grapes, cheese and ham that go well with wine, and original goods. We also have them.

They also hold seasonal events, and the autumn harvest festival held in early October every year is especially popular. It is the busiest time of the year with wine bars, food courts, live performances by popular musicians, and more.

The Spring Festa, held during Golden Week, includes a flower planting contest and other activities that even people who don't like wine can enjoy.

During the Obon period when people return home, they hold a Kushiyaki Festa, Meat Festival, and Hometown Fair. Enjoy Yamagata gourmet food and wine with a theme each time, such as Yamagata beef skewers and Yonezawa beef steak.

In September, the Imoni Party, an autumn tradition in Yamagata Prefecture, will be held at Takahata Winery, where you can enjoy imoni and wine. In addition to the Yamagata inland-style imoni based on beef and soy sauce, and the Shonai-style imoni based on pork and miso, it is full of autumn flavors.
