Mio and Daisuke Matsumura – Mito Winery (Ibaraki Prefecture)

Mio and Daisuke Matsumura founded Mito Winery as a small family project in Ibaraki, blending agriculture, ecology, and art. Their vineyard sits on gently rolling hills near the Pacific coast, where sandy soils and ocean breezes create ideal conditions for crisp, aromatic wines.
The Matsumuras farm without pesticides or herbicides, focusing on local varieties like Koshu and Delaware. In the cellar, they practice slow, spontaneous fermentation and avoid fining or heavy filtration.
Their wines are delicate and contemplative—marked by purity, subtle texture, and a quiet sense of place. Mito Winery is part of Japan’s growing network of micro-estates redefining natural wine through small-scale, deeply personal craftsmanship.
