Field of Dreams Winery

フィールドオブドリームスワイナリー

Yoichi's natural-wine pioneer — terroir bottled in its purest form

Field of Dreams Winery was established in 2021 through the M&A acquisition of a 20-year-old fruit farm in Yoichi's Nobori district, Hokkaido. Spanning approximately 6 hectares of gently sloping terrain, the estate cultivates Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, Chardonnay, Kerner, Sauvignon Blanc, and Müller-Thurgau using exclusively natural fertilizers with zero herbicides. Working in collaboration with legendary winemaker Takahiko Soga of Domaine Takahiko, the team pursues minimal-intervention winemaking — wild yeast fermentation, negligible sulfite addition — to encapsulate the living vitality of Yoichi's volcanic soil in every bottle. Plans are underway for a winery hotel and restaurant (LOOP) to open in 2027.
