Takayama Vineyard

Southern Mie Prefecture, Taki-cho, Taki District. Within idyllic scenery surrounded by mountains and farm fields — Takayama Vineyard's fields are. In this land blessed with warm climate, moderate temperature differences, and pure water — from the thought of "wanting to make grapes that can be confidently fed to children" — Takayama Vineyard's grape making started.

While leveraging agricultural experience cultivated as Mie Noji Limited Company — what was arrived at while seriously engaging in grape cultivation — "cultivation reducing pesticides and putting hands on each cluster." While carefully observing disease and pest conditions and weather changes — keeping pesticide control to the minimum necessary — while carefully repeating work only humans can do — like thinning, leaf arrangement, and trellis making — has aimed to balance peace of mind and deliciousness.

Challenging multi-variety cultivation — centered on Shine Muscat, plus My Heart, Queen Seven, Rosario Bianco, Beni-kan, Appare, Lisamart, and Gorby — is also because we want you to enjoy grapes with various flavors and appearances. While leveraging each individuality — sugar content, acidity, aroma, and texture — discerning the best harvest timing for each year.

At the Tamaru direct sales shop — the base in Tamaki Town — when harvest season arrives — colorful grapes line up. While cherishing conversations with local customers — gradually expanding sales channels outside the region: nationwide shipping, hometown tax return gifts, and sales at the regional commercial facility "VISON." Recently — through processed products like semi-dry grapes — also attention is gathering on "Takayama Vineyard's flavor enjoyable beyond seasons."

Aiming to balance the two — "deliciousness unforgettable once tasted" and "safety so children can also be fed with peace of mind." Today as well — at Takayama Vineyard — while bathing in Mie's sun — days of facing grape clusters continue.
