戸倉上山田温泉と信州全体では9月＝葡萄の時期です。
子のぶどうの時期の代表なイベントはJAちくまの「ぶどう祭り」。2013年は第3回となり、9月20日(金)と21日(土）にJAちくま八幡支所(温泉から車で約10分)で開催される予定です。
亀清旅館では今月に三色の採りたての葡萄をお客様の夕食のデザートの時に提供しております。しかし、実はもっともっと種類が沢山ある。このぶどう祭で何と30種類のぶどうが出るらしい。試食しながら量り売り、搾りたてぶどうジュースなど楽しみは沢山！
家も子供達を連れて行きたいと思っているので、ご一緒に行きませんか？
Around our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada as well as Nagano Prefecture as a whole, September is known as Grape Month. Everywhere you go it seems there are grape orchards. And this is the month when the harvest takes place. To mark this season, our local ag coop JA Chikuma holds a Grape Fair.
Here at Kamesei Ryokan, we serve three colors of grapes to our guests with their dinners during the grape season. But actually, there are a lot more varieties. In fact, at the JA Chikuma Grape Fair, over 30 varieties will be on display. The 2013 edition of the festival is the 3rd annual, and will take place on Friday 20-Sept. and Saturday 21-Sept. at the JA Chikuma Yawata Office, a 10-minute drive from our onsen town. There will be free tasting, grape sales by the pound, fresh squeezed grape juice, and more!
I intend to take our kids this year -- won't you come with us?
