Tango grapes are grown in several districts of Kyotango City, including Kumihama, Amino, Yasaka, and Tango. The region produces a wide variety of grapes, including Bailey A, Rosario Rosso, Ryōgyoku, Pione, and Campbell Early.
These grapes are renowned for their extraordinary sweetness. Their flavor is so intense that they are sometimes described as almost too sweet to eat in large quantities.
Kyotango City has the largest area of land devoted to fruit cultivation in Kyoto Prefecture. Its climate and the sandy soils extending along the coast provide favorable conditions for growing fruit.
During the harvest season, roadside grape stands attract many visitors. From late August through late October, visitors can also enjoy fruit-picking experiences at farms throughout the area.
Neighboring Miyazu City, to the east, is home to a winery, and grapes are also cultivated there for winemaking.
