NIKI Hills Winery will hold a special wine-pairing dinner at authentic French restaurant L'ESSOR in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo on Saturday, July 4, 2026.
It will be a rare, one-night-only makers’ dinner.
About the wine-pairing dinner
The dinner will pair NIKI Hills’ delicate premium wines, nurtured by Hokkaido’s cool climate and rich natural environment, with a special seasonal course created by L'ESSOR’s chef for the event.
The organizers aim to create a multisensory experience so vivid that guests can imagine the landscapes of Niki, Hokkaido while remaining in Tokyo.
Background and concept
The makers’ dinner was created from a desire to let guests experience Hokkaido terroir directly in a refined setting, through collaboration with L'ESSOR, which serves traditional yet creative French cuisine in Minami-Aoyama.
Winemaker Mamiko Ota will speak about Hokkaido terroir, the character of each wine, and approaches used in the winemaking process.
It is a must-see event for Japanese-wine fans.
