This week sees the launch of the very first Omotesando Wart Fair, an event blending wine and art not only in spirit but also in name. Open to the public from August 28 to 30, the bash is taking place at Space O beneath Omotesando Hills.
Bringing together some of Tokyo’s most forward-thinking restaurants – and special guests from abroad – the fair explores natural wine through the lens of art, fashion, music and shared experience. The organisers describe wine as a ‘device for cultivating culture’, with the event designed to connect people through flavour, time and expression. Alongside some of the city’s best food and wine, DJs will keep the energy high throughout the night.
Featured participants include Massif (Ikejiri-Ohashi), AC House (Nishi-Azabu), Ukiyo (Yoyogi-Uehara) and Bar Part Time (San Francisco). In addition, a mystery guest wine shop is said to be joining on August 30.
With curated selections, dynamic spaces and cross-cultural energy, Omotesando Wart Fair looks like one of of Tokyo’s most exciting new summer events for natural wine and art lovers.
