Special Tastings on Sunday, 8 November
To coincide with Wine Tourism Yamanashi 2026 – Autumn on Sunday, 8 November, our Wine Salon will offer two special tastings available exclusively on the day.
We invite you to visit us in Katsunuma and discover the wines of Grace Wine.
1. Koshu Toriibira Vineyard: A Comparative Tasting of Current and Library Vintages
This tasting brings together the current release, Koshu Toriibira Vineyard 2024, and a library vintage, Koshu Toriibira Vineyard Private Reserve 2019.
Long recognised as one of Katsunuma’s distinguished vineyard sites, Toriibira produces grapes of notable concentration, yielding wines with depth, structure and the potential for extended ageing. This comparison offers an opportunity to explore Koshu’s ageing potential and the evolution of its aromas and flavours over time. Discover the depth and complexity that mature Koshu can reveal.

2. Serena Extra Brut 2020 Paired with Camembert
Serena Extra Brut 2020 is a sparkling wine made from Chardonnay and Koshu grown at Misawa Vineyard in Akeno and in the Hishiyama district of Katsunuma. Each bottle is carefully crafted by hand, from riddling on traditional pupitres to disgorgement following more than four years of bottle ageing and the final dosage.
For this tasting, we will pair the wine with Camembert from Normandy, France.
The cheese’s smooth texture and mild, creamy flavours complement Serena’s fine bubbles, developed through extended ageing, and its harmonious expression of Chardonnay and Koshu. Enjoy how the distinctive qualities of the wine and cheese come together, bringing new dimensions to the tasting.
Tasting Details
- Wine: Serena Extra Brut 2020 — 50 ml, served with Camembert
- Price: ¥1,900, including tax
- Availability: Limited to 16 tasting sets
Both tastings are available in limited quantities and will finish once all sets have been served.
We look forward to welcoming you.
