UNWIND HOTEL & BAR Otaru is a boutique hotel operated by Global Agents Co., Ltd.
With the aim of building organic connections with the surrounding local community and actively fostering interaction, they will regularly host maker's dinners starting in July, inviting producers from wineries across Hokkaido that are attracting attention both domestically and internationally.
Let's take a look at what kind of event this is.
About the Maker's Dinners
The venue for the maker's dinners is THE BALL, a restaurant located within UNWIND HOTEL & BAR Otaru.
The restaurant features a magical ambiance created by beautiful stained glass preserved for nearly 100 years since its construction, combined with modern lighting.
Hokkaido producers brimming with individuality are invited to this venue, allowing guests to enjoy dinner course pairings tailored to the wines while listening to stories that only the growers and makers can share about their winery, vineyards, and production techniques.
The event was named "Taste of HOKKAIDO - UNWIND Otaru Wine & Cuisine" out of a desire to let guests savor the charms of Hokkaido.
Schedule for "Taste of HOKKAIDO - UNWIND Otaru Wine & Cuisine"
"Taste of HOKKAIDO - UNWIND Otaru Wine & Cuisine" currently has events planned through September 30.
- [1st Event] Producer: Le Rêve Winery (Niki Town, Yoichi District)
- [2nd Event] Producer: OSA WINERY (Otaru City)
Le Rêve Winery is known for its commitment to natural wines and fermenting with wild yeasts.
Since the producer for the 2nd event, OSA WINERY, is located just a one-minute walk from the hotel, a special opportunity will be offered to be among the first to taste their new "estate wine produced in Otaru," releasing this autumn.
The upcoming schedule includes:
- August 19: NIKI Hills Winery Maker's Dinner
- September 9: Domaine Mont Maker's Dinner
- September 30: Wine Cluster Masahisa Abe Sommelier's Dinner
...and more are being planned.

A Place to Fully Enjoy Hokkaido "Wine"
In addition to maker's dinners, UNWIND HOTEL & BAR Otaru also plans to host wine dinner events where wine shops with carefully curated selections or professional sommeliers select and present wines, as well as tasting sessions to compare various wines and wine study seminars.
Going forward, they plan to hold regular opportunities for not only hotel guests but also local residents to experience and deepen their knowledge of Hokkaido wine.
