Woody Farm & Winery is a domaine winery in Kaminoyama City, Yamagata Prefecture, at the foot of the Zao mountain range. Grapes have been grown on the family's fruit-farming land since the mid-1970s, and the winery itself obtained its brewing license in September 2013. Farming and vinification are handled entirely in-house across roughly 9 hectares of vineyards, with the estate testing which vinifera varieties best suit the local soil and climate, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Albarino (one of the largest plantings in the Tohoku region), Petit Manseng, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. The winery avoids chaptalization and acid correction wherever possible, aiming to let the character of the grapes and the Kaminoyama terroir speak for themselves. The estate also runs a tasting room and on-site cottage accommodations completed in 2023, hosting vineyard, harvest, and food-pairing experiences, including a collaboration lunch with chef Masayuki Okuda of Al-checciano.

de Montille & Hokkaido is Japan's first foreign-owned vineyard project, launched in 2016 by Etienne de Montille — current owner of the legendary 300-year-old Domaine de Montille in Burgundy. After visiting Japanese wine regions and consulting meteorologists, geologists, and soil scientists from Burgundy University, Etienne chose Hakodate in southern Hokkaido for its cool climate, volcanic soils, low winter snowfall, and long summer sunshine hours closely resembling Burgundy. Vine planting began in the Kikyo district of Hakodate in 2019, with 7 hectares in operation and plans to expand to 25 hectares. Between 2018 and 2022, the project produced small quantities of wine from Yoichi-area growers in partnership with Coco Farm and Bruce Gutlove (10R Winery) under a five-vintage learning series — each labelled with a single kanji character reflecting the knowledge gained each year: 豪 (2018), 驚 (2019), 學 (2020), 理 (2021), 探 (2022). The first vintage from the estate vineyard was produced in 2023 (label: 望 Nozomi meaning hope), coinciding with completion of the Hakodate winery. The winery was inaugurated on 26 July 2024. The project gained Japan Winery Award 4-star recognition in 2025.
