[Akiu, Miyagi Prefecture] Tour the brewery while tasting at Akiu Winery!

Akiu is one of Sendai's best hot spring areas.
Sendai's first winery has opened in Akiu!
Sendai is the center of Miyagi, the food kingdom.
Akiu's climate is suitable for grape production, so it's strange that there hasn't been a winery until now!

This time, we will focus on Akiu Winery!

What is Akiu Winery?

Akiu Winery is Sendai's first winery established after the earthquake.
We opened on a small hill in Akiu with the goal of creating a winery that connects and fosters people, the region, culture, and industry.

There are various issues facing Tohoku's recovery and development, including problems caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and a lack of successors in agriculture.
Akiu Winery arose due to these problems.
A climate suitable for growing grapes, and convenient access to central Sendai.
Above all, there are tourism resources such as Akiu Onsenkyo and the rich natural scenery.
Akiu Winery was born to take advantage of Akiu's high potential and become a base for regional revitalization.

The charm of Akiu Winery

When you step into Akiu Winery, you will find a shop lined with many wines waiting for you.
In addition to wine, we also sell fashionable accessories and lovely snacks that will liven up the atmosphere.
Here, we will introduce the charm of Akiu Winery.

A vineyard with a great view! There's also a barbecue in the garden!

Akiu Winery is surrounded by a 3-hectare farm.
When you look at the vineyards from the winery entrance, the contrast with the Ou Mountains in the distance is stunning.
Barbecue events are also held regularly in the garden in front of the facility!

Don't you think it's the ultimate luxury to enjoy delicious wine and meat while being surrounded by the beautiful nature of Akiu? ?

Paid tasting! The snack plate is also delicious!

The facility also has a large eat-in space.
You can enjoy paid tastings while looking out the window at the vineyard.
A small glass of wine (40ml) costs 200 yen, and a large glass (90ml) costs 400 yen!
It's surprisingly filling, so it's perfect to enjoy while enjoying the view while chatting with friends!

Another thing I recommend are snacks.
The snack plate offered at Akiu Winery is a special plate from Miyagi, the food kingdom, consisting of cheese grown locally in Zao and raw salami made in Izunuma!
Reasonably priced at 500 yen for 1 to 2 people!
You can have a blissful time while enjoying the tasting!

Soft cream is the best!

It may seem strange to include dessert with a tasting, but when you come to Akiu Winery, you can't miss this soft serve ice cream!
This soft serve ice cream with an irresistible rich milky texture is a cushioning material that will soothe your body flushed from alcohol!
If you are bringing children with you, please try it not only for your children but also for yourself!
You will definitely become a repeat customer as the taste exceeds your expectations!

Tour the brewery with wine in hand! ?

Visiting a winery without taking a tour of the brewery is like coffee without the creep!
Of course, you can also tour the brewery at Akiu Winery!
The unique feature of this place is that you can enjoy a tour while tasting a glass of wine in hand.

Although there are no guides to guide you, a great way to enjoy wine is to enjoy the wine in a relaxed manner while learning about the production process!

summary

Akiu Winery is a new facility that fosters the people, culture, and industry of Tohoku.
If you want to play a role in linking earthquake disaster recovery to sustainable development, or if you want to experience the growing Tohoku region, why not come visit us?
