In particular, the foothills of Mt. Tsukuba have granite soil that rivals world-famous production areas, so Tsukuba wine, which is brewed with the benefit of Tsukuba’s terroir (earth), has been gaining acclaim in recent years. The 4th installment of “Enjoying the Terroir with Tsukuba Wine” is titled “Tsukuba Wine Exchange Meeting,” and the producers of the three wineries visited up to the 3rd edition, “Bee’s Knees Vineyards,” “Tsukuba Vinyard,” and “Tsukuba Winery.” In addition to holding a panel discussion, we will offer 2024 new sake, wine recommended by the winery, and dishes made with local ingredients. Additionally, Mami Ueda, a senior sommelier certified by the Japan Sommelier Association, will serve as the navigator for this event, and we will hear from Tsukuba wine producers about their passion and commitment to wine. We will also introduce how to use the Tsukuba Wine Notebook, which was created to commemorate this event. At the end of the event, there will be a raffle where you can win hotel and winery products. This is a one-day event where you can enjoy valuable experiences such as comparing Tsukuba wines, pairing them with food, and interacting with producers and sommeliers. *1 About “Tsukuba Wine and Fruit Liquor Special Zone” The Tsukuba Wine and Fruit Liquor Special Zone, a structural reform special zone certified by the Cabinet Office in December 2017, has made it easier to produce wine and specialty fruit alcoholic beverages within Tsukuba City. This is the first certification in Ibaraki Prefecture. The weathered granite soil at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba is similar to that of the Rhone (France) and Sardinia (Italy), which are world-famous production areas, and is benefited by the terroir of Tsukuba. Expectations are high for the unique flavors of the wines produced. ◆Event overview [Date and time] Sunday, February 9, 2025 [Reservation reception] From 11:00 on Sunday, December 1, 2024 [Time] 16:30-19:00 [Location] Hotel Nikko Tsukuba Subaru Room [Fee] ¥13,500 *The above price includes meals, tasting of 3 types of 2024 new sake wine, consumption tax and service charge. *Additional wine will be charged (ticket system) [Cooperation] Bee’s Knees Vineyards, Tsukuba Vinyard, Tsukuba Winery, Wine Demami [Sponsor] Tsukuba Salmon Promotion Council [Planning/Sponsor] Hotel Nikko Tsukuba Event introduction page: https://www.nikko-tsukuba.com/tsukutabi/plan02/ Reservation page (Peatix): https://tsukutabi-wine2024.peatix.com
