Suntory Tominooka

Suntory's Tomi no Oka winery occupies a hillside in Yamanashi Prefecture where Mt. Fuji provides a dramatic backdrop to the vineyards. Free guided tours walk you through the winemaking process from grape to bottle, and the tasting room lets you sample the local Koshu and Muscat Bailey A varieties that thrive in this terroir. The on-site shop sells winery exclusives you cannot find elsewhere. If the weather cooperates, the terrace view of Fuji rising above the vines is one of the most memorable winery vistas in Japan.
