Alps vineyard
🍇 Vineyard (1/2)

Founded in 1927, Alps Winery continues a tradition established by founder Takeo Tsukahara, who built lasting trust with local growers during World War II. Today, the winery sources 100% of its grapes from Shiojiri farmers through collaborative partnerships, working hand-in-hand to craft wines that express Kikyogahara's unique character. The region's ideal terroir—low annual rainfall, intense sunlight, and significant day-night temperature variation—creates exceptional conditions for wine grapes. This combination of deep regional roots, community collaboration, and optimal growing conditions defines Alps Winery's approach to winemaking.
