JR Biei Station
Year-Round
Since the 70s, vineyards have been popping up across Hokkaido and it is now waking up to its potential as a major wine producer for the domestic market and beyond.
This experience is held at local bistro “Suzuran Plus” in Biei, a beautiful town which lies right in the middle of Hokkaido. Many wineries are a short drive from Biei, including the one whose wines we will try during this experience! The chef, Mr Kimura, is passionate about wine and cooking and loves to share his passion with diners.
During this experience, you will get to try two glasses of Hokkaido wine (white and red), provided by Tada Winery in the neighbouring town of Kamifurano. Your chef will also prepare a light meal, made using seasonal and local Hokkaido ingredients which pair perfectly with your wines. It is very likely that the dishes may include ingredients from Biei itself!
