- 山梨県
Hikawa Wine (日川葡萄酒醸造株式会社) is a small, family-run winery located at 1063 Shimoguribara, Yamanashi City, in the eastern part of Yamanashi Prefecture — the historic birthplace of Japanese winemaking. The winery welcomes visitors for tours and tastings by advance appointment only, reflecting a low-key, artisanal approach rooted in the local community rather than large-scale commercial production. It should not be confused with the similarly named Hikawa Chuo Budoshu (日川中央葡萄酒), a separate company in nearby Fuefuki City that produces the 'Liaison' wine brand.
Who Is This For?
For wine explorers who enjoy discovering small, under-the-radar Japanese wineries beyond the famous Katsunuma tourist trail.
