Plan it for me
Held in the Yoichi wine district outside Sapporo, this festival highlights Hokkaido's rapidly growing wine scene. Cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Kerner, and Zweigelt thrive in Hokkaido's terroir, often compared to Germany and Alsace. Local seafood pairings — uni, crab, and scallops — make this a unique gastronomic wine experience.
