The wine festival limited to 2,000 attendees, “Ikeda Town Autumn Wine Festival,” will be held again this year. This long-standing local tradition has continued for over 50 years since the completion of the town’s symbol, the “Wine Castle,” in 1974. Its popularity is such that there are even bus tours organized around the event.
With all-you-can-drink Tokachi wine, a whole roast of beef from Ikeda Town, a wine-tasting contest, performances by Ikeda Town junior and senior high school brass bands, and an appearance by the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters official cheer team, there’s plenty of delicious food and exciting entertainment.
Admission is ticket-based and must be purchased in advance at designated stores in Ikeda Town or online. Enjoy a day of fine wine with friends and family during the crisp autumn season.
