Winery Tour
Marufuji Winery is one of the oldest wineries in Katsunuma, the heart of Japanese winemaking. The estate has been owned by the Omura family for over four generations and is rich with history. Please come and visit us!
It’s a great chance not only to sample our wine and experience the history of Japanese winemaking, but also see it in action.
Highlights of Winery Visit
- Our tasting room, styled after a European hideaway. Both the table and glass shelf are made from staves from a large oak cast.
We use this room for meetings and lectures. - Our underground warehouse. Every April it turns into a concert hall for Kuracon.
- Our gallery, where we display our history. It includes labels from prewar times as well as other interesting historical pieces.
- Maturing wine in oak barrels adds complexity and roundness.
All the barrels in this area are in use. - This wine cellar used to be our fermenting and maturation tanks.
Now, crystals shine on the walls and the door’s stained glass window. - Our backyard vineyard.
It turns into the main site for Kuracon every April. - Our bottling line.
