2026 Mariko Vineyard Wine Grape Harvesting Experience

About this event

This is an event where you can experience harvesting wine grapes at Mariko Winery. Touch the grapes ripening in the vast vineyard and experience a part of grape cultivation and winemaking. Guided by the cultivation staff, you will perform the actual grape harvesting work that will become wine. After the harvest, a lunch box along with four kinds of wine, including winery-exclusive selections, will be served, and you can specially taste fresh wine grapes as a seasonal treat. Detailed explanations are provided so that first-time participants can join with peace of mind. As the daytime is expected to become hot, participants are encouraged to prepare sun protection such as hats and wear clothes that are easy to put on and take off. Feel the breeze blowing through the vineyard, touch and taste the grapes, and reflect on the background of winemaking—experiencing a special day unique to Mariko Winery available only during the harvest season.
