Painting on Canvas with Cider in Hand Amidst Nature. St.Cousair and SAKE ART's First Collaboration to Promote New Experiential Tourism Content in Nagano!

We want people to enjoy art more closely and freely.

"SAKE ART," organized by ARTLIER Inc., will participate in the "Iizuna Cider Garden 2026" held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at St.Cousair Winery Main Store in Iizuna Town, Nagano Prefecture, and will hold a special workshop in its first collaboration with St.Cousair Inc.

Iizuna Cider Garden 2026

Blue sky, green grass, and nature as your studio. An exhilarating "outdoor art experience."

"SAKE ART," which has been well-received mainly indoors, is finally venturing outdoors. The stage will be the garden plaza of St.Cousair Winery Main Store, spread across beautiful hills at an altitude of 600 meters.

In the refreshing green lawn plaza, feeling the pleasant May breeze, participants will face the canvas while savoring unique ciders. Such an open-air art event, integrated with the winery's nature, is a new and unparalleled endeavor in Japan. The overwhelming openness of nature stimulates participants' sensibilities, drawing out more free and expansive self-expression than usual.

From "Tasting" to "Creating." As a New Experiential Tourism Content Proud of Nagano.

The culture of enjoying art while savoring local alcoholic beverages in beautiful scenery is a rich lifestyle cherished in wineries in Europe and America. We will elevate this experience by combining it with Nagano Prefecture's proud nature and cider culture, transforming it into new "experiential tourism content."

We offer tourists from inside and outside the prefecture, as well as local residents, not just the opportunity to "taste" local specialties, but also a creative time to "create" something themselves while feeling the local atmosphere. We deliver a supreme relaxing experience that imprints the "richness of Nagano" into memory with all five senses.

Please enjoy a special day where delicious cider and art intersect in the season of fresh greenery.
