History

The town was first set up as a travelers stop along the highway. After a few years and more settlers came the wine industry arose due to the warmer climates, fertile soil, and nearby grapes in the Kan Forest. After many years of red wine development, the rare dadila berry was discovered in the forest. The townsfolk made it into a wine to see how it tasted and discovered it made a much sweeter and more alcoholic wine than red wine. They gradually planted more dadila berries and less grape vines and is now only fields of dadila berries.
