Tamba Winery

Andrew's host family owns this winery. They have been taking care of us since we arrived and continued this treatment today, taking us to Tamba Wine for a picnic feast. We sat next to the vineyard where they let us grab some of the grapes to eat with lunch.
You can see they have both white and purple...
This was a traditional bbq - we cooked our food over hot coals in a pot right on our table.
When we left, they gave us some grapes to take with us - these are about the size of an eyeball and are absolutely luscious as is all fruit in Japan. When you bite into one of these it does something funny to your senses because they are so flavorful and like nothing you have had before.
Tomorrow is the wedding. I can't wait!
