Wood-fire Italian course + 4 wine pairings
For this event, we welcome a producer from KIRINOKA VINEYARDS & WINERY in Tatsuno Town, Nagano Prefecture. Enjoy pairings with KAGARIBI’s wood-fire Italian cuisine while hearing firsthand about their winemaking philosophy and the character of their land. We will also welcome Ms. Kana Miyasaka—an Okaya City native and runner-up at the Miss Wine Japan Competition 2018—for a special talk with the producer.
In search of the ideal terroir for Pinot Noir, KIRINOKA arrived in Ono, Shinshu after two decades of dedication. Making use of a cool climate at an altitude of 850 meters and well-drained soils, they continue crafting wines that reflect a deep connection to the land. At the Japan Wine Competition 2026, two labels received awards; “Maison de Kirinoka Chardonnay Cuvée Hakō 2025” won Gold in the European-variety White category.
On the night, four wines will be served including this Gold-winning bottle. Beyond simply tasting wine, discover the producer’s passion, landscapes of the vineyard site, and the story behind each bottle—an unforgettable evening to enjoy in Karuizawa.
