Weizhi LAI, one of the few wine experts in Taiwan with experiences in grape growing, wine making and wine services, is also a lecturer of the wine courses in National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism and Dayeh University. There may not be more than 10 Taiwanese with such an educational background and working experiences. In view of this, the most valuable activity in Iku Vineyards is to have Teacher LAI show us the common wines in Taiwan and teach us wines as well as wine tasting.

The vineyard is behind the B&B. At the time we visited, we saw grapes covered by the bags in the net room and harvest takes half a month. We imagined there would be much work in the harvest period. Grape picking in the garden, the first mission is to listen to the picking instruction. If the vines are mistakenly cut, the harvest of next year will be ruined so the importance of the instruction cannot be overemphasized.
B&B of Iku vineyards is European style. There are plenty tree plantations in the courtyard. Sitting under the blue-sky vines and enjoying the cool breeze naturally delights the mood. We recommend tourists arrange an afternoon here to pick fruits and taste the wine in the harvest season.

Photo: Rooms of 2, 4 and 6 people are available in the B&B; they are clean, and in country style.
