What is Akiu Winery?

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

There are many challenges facing the reconstruction and development of Tohoku, including issues caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and a lack of agricultural successors.
Akiu Winery was established to address these issues. The
area has a climate ideal for grape cultivation, convenient access to central Sendai,
and above all, tourist resources such as the Akiu hot spring resort and its abundant natural scenery.
Akiu Winery was established to utilize Akiu's great potential and become a base for revitalizing the region.

Here, we'll introduce the charms of Akiu Winery.

A vineyard with a spectacular view! You can also enjoy a barbecue in the garden!

Akiu Winery is surrounded by its own three-hectare farm.

There is a fee for tasting! The appetizer plate is also delicious!

The facility also has a spacious eat-in space.
You can enjoy tastings (fees apply) while looking out at the vineyards outside the window.
A small glass of wine (40ml) costs 200 yen, while a large glass (90ml) costs 400 yen!
The volume is surprisingly generous, so it's perfect for enjoying a conversation with friends while admiring the view!

Another recommendation is the snacks.
The snack plate offered at Akiu Winery is a special plate from Miyagi, the kingdom of ingredients, made with cheese from the local Zao region and fresh salami from Izunuma. It's a reasonable
500 yen for 1-2 people!
Enjoy a tasting while snacking on the snacks and you'll have a blissful moment!

The soft serve ice cream is the best!
