Coco Farm and Winery Harvest Festival
November 19 (Saturday) Ashikaga, Tochigi
Come join us for an all day picnic while enjoying live music, professionally cooked food, and wine (or sparkling grape juice) from one of Japan's premiere wineries!
This 19th of November, Coco Farm and Winery will be holding its annual "Harvest Festival". 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 and make new friends.
After the festival, we'll stop by at Nagomi; a famous onsen/spa in Saitama, to relax, enjoy natural hot spring baths, and have dinner.
This event is "ON" rain or shine!
