Where in the world is Wölffer? Join us each month as a member of our team gives you the inside scoop to their favorite Wölffer-serving city!
Welcome to Tokyo! To kick-off our first ever city guide, we are diving into one of the most unexpected Wölffer-serving cities: Tokyo, Japan! We opened the Japan market in 2010, with our National Wholesale Director, Mindy Crawford, leading the way. Our guests are always excited and surprised to learn just how many of our products are available in Japan, and how well they sell -- you can find anything from our No. 139 Ciders to red, white, and rosé wines, plus many White Horse and dessert wines. Locals especially love the Decensia Botrytis-Riesling Chardonnay and the No. 139 Rosé Cider! After numerous trips and plenty of exploring, Mindy gives us her top Tokyo picks below.
