What To Expect
Sample selected wines from the Maruki Winery and enjoy the convenience of round-trip hotel transportation from the city. Your private chauffeur will not only serve as your "designated driver," but will also share history and insight about the Yamanashi region. The Maruki Winery is the oldest winery in Japan, located in the Yamanashi prefecture. Its 50 acres of vineyards are famous for being the birthplace of Koshu grapes, producing remarkable wines with a combination of flavors, from citrus (particularly Japanese yuzu) to yellow fruit. The Maruki Winery also produces red wines from Muscat Bailey A grapes, resulting in their wonderful aroma, reminiscent of strawberries. *Important Reminder -This tour is available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays except on public holidays and New Year holidays. -The minimum number of people required is 4. The 4 hour duration includes 2hour drive from Tokyo to Maruki Winery.
Chateau Mercian Winery
For all the oenophiles who wish to discover and savor even more wines from Yamanashi, your chauffeur will gladly take you to two other wineries: the "Tomi no Oka winery" and the "Chateau Mercian winery". Each visit includes a tasting of unique, locally produced wines, a visit to the wine cellar, and a tour of the vineyard. If you're looking for a relaxing, but also in depth look at the Yamanashi wine industry, we are here for you!

5.00My friends and I live in Tokyo and wanted a mini get-away to this beautiful wine region situated at the basin of Mt. Fuji. This tour was ESSENTIAL to us enjoying our time to its fullest here. While one could train there and back to the city, the wineries themselves are very spread out and mind you the walks are all steeply up hill of the mountains. It’d be very inconvenient to walk place to place. Renting your own car is an option to some, but then you can’t drink and enjoy the wineries. But now having a PRIVATE tour with a DRIVER who’s KNOWLEDGEABLE and takes you to the BEST KNOWN WINERIES in the area (plus TOURS of vineyards, cellars, and facilities OF ALL)?! That’s worth the money and time, as well makes the experience overall all the better! I’m so glad to have picked this specific booking because they gave us access to Suntory, Chateau Mercian, and L’Orient… 12 full glasses of wine in 6 hours plus complete tours… INSANE! I could have never been able to book these places myself. The person I communicated with on Viator was awesome, efficient, and worked magic as I booked very last minute and he was still able to get us reservations to all these places. Our driver and tour guide, Douglas (shoutout Douglas), was great, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I’ve already told many people about this booking and how much fun it was.
