Come join us for an all day picnic while enjoying live music, gourmet food, and wine (or sparkling grape juice) from one of Japan's premiere wineries!

This fundraising event is extremely popular in Japan, which draws in chefs from the Kanto area, raises money for Autism, and has some of Japan's biggest musicians (The Lark Quintet, Iwao Furusawa, and Akira Sakata's Jazz Group) performing live all day on two stages.

During this all day event, you can shop in Coco Farm and Winery's gift shop, tour the winery, try many types of food including paella, tacos, roast beef, charcoal-grilled lamb, fried chicken, a selection of cheese, and much, much more, or bring your own picnic lunch and relax all day. This event is a rare opportunity to see one of the few wineries in Japan in a beautiful location, while raising money for a good cause, and a great chance to meet a lot of people and make new friends.

As this event is extremely popular and gets very crowded, getting a good picnic spot is difficult so we're leaving Tokyo early to get a descent picnic spot.

Believe it or not?! This trip is a lot of fun regardless of the weather. You just have to be with the right group and the right people!
