About f winery
f winery is an urban winery located in Felissimo's new headquarters "Stage Felissimo" in the Shinko-cho waterfront district of Kobe City. The winery obtained a fruit wine manufacturing license from Kobe Tax Office on June 17th, 2021, began wine production, and opened the "Stand" area for business on November 19th of the same year.
Felissimo, which has been importing and selling wine through mail order, is producing wine for the first time in-house. The winery aims to explore the possibilities of wine business by sourcing quality grapes from various regions at different times, creating wines unrestricted by land, terroir, or climate.
The "Brewing Area," where winemakers work full-time, has seven Slovenian-made stainless steel tanks and two resin tanks for a total of nine tanks, with a maximum annual production capacity of approximately 30,000 bottles (750ml full bottles).
The Stand (cafe & bar) area, with glass walls allowing views of the brewing area, offers wine tastings and pairings with appetizers. Non-alcoholic beverages and cafe menu items are also available. The winery is recruiting "annual partners" who want to research wine production together and enjoy wine, helping to spread new wine culture.
