STAY SAFE

KEEP OTHERS SAFE

Enjoying wine in a Corona world

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection worldwide, all of us, be it people in the same industry, customers, colleagues or friends, are facing new challenges in this unprecedented and ever-changing situation.

All of us need to do our parts with maximum diligence in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep safe ourselves or our loved ones. From March to October 2020, all events held by Daniel's Wine Club have been canceled, as well as all travels, seminars and classes. 

We used all this time to create a larger and safer space, and starting November 2020, We are planning to restart some of the events, at a much smaller scale. Infection prevention measures will be rigorously implemented in order to create the safest possible environment for our guests. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. 

Please note that these rules may change depending on the status of the pandemic and the recommendations of the Japanese authorities.
