The Road to Wine
Owner Hideaki KOYAMA started his new endeavor relocating to Tomi-city in Nagano prefecture after working as an electronic system engineer. He challenged himself to plant grapevines cultivating a dormant old apple farm where it had been abandoned for many years. His company Rue de Vin was founded in 2008, followed by his winery establishment completed in 2010. At present he grows grapevines in his 5.5 ha estate and produce wines are of high quality without compromise.
