Rich and flavorful wines crafted from the magnificent natural surroundings of Takahata Town.

Last update :

Takahata Town in Yamagata Prefecture is nestled between Fukushima to the south and Miyagi to the east. This area, surrounded by mountains, boasts rich natural landscapes and is renowned for rice farming and grape cultivation. The town leads the nation in the municipal-level production of Chardonnay and Delaware grapes, which are commonly used in winemaking.

Founded in 1990, Takahata Winery specializes in crafting wines that highlight the unique characteristics of grapes from different regions. The winery has garnered numerous awards at prestigious wine competitions both domestically and internationally. Their broad range of wines caters to everyone from beginners to connoisseurs. The flagship brand, "Lady of Mahoroba," includes a red wine known for its perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness and a white wine characterized by its aromatic citrusy acidity. Both wines have been popular since the winery's inception.

The winery's diverse lineup also features wines made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in their own vineyards, rich oak barrel-aged wines, collaborative products with local growers, and fruit wines made from cherries, La France pears, and peaches. Visitors can enjoy these offerings at the winery's shop and the on-site restaurant, Gozzonare.
