Grace Winery Katsunuma - A young Japanese man raised in Katsunuma, Yamanashi was dispatched to France in 1870 to learn techniques in winemaking and from these beginnings many wineries were established in Katsunuma. Since the 1870s, wineries in Koshu and Katsunuma have continued to refine their product to cultivate some fairly impressive wines. In just the Katsunuma area alone, one can find well over 200 winemakers. Many of the wineries, including Grace, Chateau Katsunuma and Kurambon among the finest in the region, have tasting rooms and tours of their vineyards. This has started a “wine boom” in Japan not only with imported wines from France, California, Chile and Italy with the home-grown varieties. Wine tours have the effect of increasing tourism to Yamanashi and so twee hotels have opened in the area as well as European style restaurants and bakeries to compliment the wines.
