    Sadoya Winery is no more than a 7 minute walk from Kofu Station (North Exit).
    The winery has a lot of history and if time permits, definitely RSVP for winery tour slot.
    Note: The tour is only given in Japanese, so it would help to bring a friend who understands or can translate.
    The tour costs 500 JPY and includes a nice tour and historical guide which lasts approximately 30 minutes, followed by a wine tasting experience (3 glasses).
    They offere grape juice for minors, drivers, and for folks who don't like wine.

    They have a nice wine shop and a wine tasting room where you can purchase small samples (Cash only) and bring inside to taste. Ranging from 200 JPY~

    I would recommend stopping by the winery if you have some time to spare and would like to drink some local wine, without the hassle and walk.

    We were told about Cave D’occi Winery by Ms Yukari from Rankeisou that this was a good place for lunch on a chilly day.
    We had a wonderful lunch, soup, fresh bread and salad finished off with ice cream. No to sure about the wine as we had a browse in the wine shop but didn’t have any service. Maybe next time.

    This place is said to take a 15-minute work from the nearest station Katsunuma-Budo-no-Sato by guide books, but I recommend going by taxi because the road is very hilly. It took 760 yen.
    After applying on the counter in a hall, I paid 1520 yen then got a container.
    It seemed that the price was up recently. It didn't need a reservation at that time.
    The container is called tastevin. It looked like a shallow cup with a hanging rope, could be said a small plate too.
    For a tasting with a walk around, wearing it as a necklace was convenient, but not good for clothes in white.
    The wine cellar was under the basement floor. There were around 20 barrels as tables, 5 or 6 bottles were on each table.
    I never thought that there was such a various type of Japanese wines. Most of them priced around 2000 yen.
    It was by no means easy to taste all by alone, I exchanged information with visitors.
    Finally, I was content with getting 2 bottles.

    Visited this winery last of 4 on a Sunday afternoon. The employees spoke excellent English and were very accommodating. The winery is a beautiful traditional Japanese building and on top of it the make very nice Koshu based white wines. The reds were over-oaked, but is a region for whites. The terrace is a fantastic location to savor a glass of wine.

    We visited with my Japanese friends. Wine selection is good and I liked the location on the hill. Prices are fairly high befor you buy any of their "sets" make sure to checkout the extensive tasting wine list first!

    I still prefer Hunter Valley here in Australia but not bad for Japan. :-)

    A winery with a garden and restaurant. Great for a French bistro style lunch with a gorgeous view. Be sure to book ahead.

    Free winery tour and garden. You'll meet 'Yagiko' the friendly mascot goat who loves to cuddle.

    A great place to relax and hang out. The owner is a known author and illustrator. The restaurant is run by his friendly charming wife. You can buy his illustrated souvenirs at the winery.

    Highly recommend.

    I participated in the guided tour for 4(reservation is necessary) reduced from original 8 due to corona virus. It lasted one and a half hours including the factory tour, a vineyard visit and 6 kinds of glass wine tasting at the end.( about us$27).
    The explanation was very informative(sorry, no English). They have also admission free very first winery in Japan now converted to museum. You can enjoy wine tasting at wineshop(Luch plate was not served due to corona)
    Katsunuma Budokyo is the nearest JR Station and from there you can walk down for about 30-40minuts to the winery seeing many vineyards. Local bus servie is available but not recommendable as the frequency is less specially on weekdays.
    This is the famous winery which started wine business for the first time in Japan and Even Showa Emperor visited twice(while he was a prince and 25 years later as an emperor). Though I am a wine lover but frankly speaking do not like Japanese wine(much improved but still)so much as Japanese whiskky and beer.

    我來了這個酒莊兩次,第一次是在我參加山梨勝沼的葡萄酒節,我喝到他們的氣泡酒,相當驚豔! 隔年我又來了一次,花了兩三個小時參觀酒莊 & 品飲了他們所有的酒
    我認為這家酒莊是個融合了歷史 & 現代的酒莊,他們專注於製造可以讓所有人都喝、銷售在便利商店的罐裝酒,也製造最高端能夠得獎的紅酒,來到山梨縣或是到石和溫泉可以順道過來拜訪品嘗
    I visited this winery twice. First time I visited this winery during Yamanashi wine festival. I drank their sparkling wine and feel it's so wonderful!! Then I visit again next year. I spend 2~3hrs for factory wine tour and try all other different wines. I found that it's a winery that has both modernized wine automation production and traditional wine production. The wine ranges from the canned wine sold to convenient stores to high-end delicate low-volume award-winning wine. It's worth visiting if you come to Isawacho Onsen.

    the place provide great view of the Mt Fuji over the wineyards when the days is clear, the surroundings is beautiful as well but looks difficult to access. But I agree with the previous review on this plc, go for the view but not for great wine but the grape juice is delicious. I didn't try the restaurant and I visit thru tour agency one day trip

    The winery is set in a beautiful broad valley with numerous vineyards and well manicured vines. Early to mid October is a great time to travel to the region as the vines are heavy with grapes. There are other wine tasting opportunities as well as historic land marks and breath taking natural vistas.

    Short walk from the train station but some what commercialized. Good food but the wine is not all that. If you like reds try the BeryA. The Merlot smells like it is straight from a barrel and tastes the same.

    The winery is charming and worth a look-see. However one cannot take photos of the interior. There is a tasting room and a back room where one can sit and relax while tasting samples. The wine itself is average at best and priced on the high side.
