This place is written as [宝水ワイナリー] in Japanese.

Housui Winery is a charming small winery situated in Housui, east of Iwamizawa city. The winery gained recognition as a filming location for the movie ‘Budou no Namida’ (ぶどうのなみだ), which translates to Tears of Grapes.

Despite its rural location, Housui Winery is steadily gaining popularity, thanks to its association with the movie and the quality of its wines, despite its relatively short history.

Like many small wineries that emerge annually in Hokkaido, Housui Winery was established in 2002. Nearby, you can also find Yamazaki Winery and Takizawa Winery in Mikasa city, adjacent to Iwamizawa.

If you have the time, visiting these wineries would be a delightful experience.
