Touring Tips

Diagonally across from the winery stands the Okuda Genso Sayume Art Museum, and nearby is "Toretta Miyoshi," an agricultural exchange and cooperation facility of Miyoshi City operated by the winery. It takes about 6 minutes by car from JR Miyoshi Station, and the "Miyoshi Winery" bus stop is also close by. Touring the area leisurely along with an art appreciation stop at the museum is recommended. If you are driving, please refrain from wine tasting and instead enjoy the flavors of Miyoshi with Pione soft-serve ice cream and other treats.
