A special Christmas dinner will be held on Saturday, December 19, 2026, jointly by the Fairfield by Marriott Michinoeki Project and Tamba Wine, a winery in Kyotamba, Kyoto Prefecture. The event is available exclusively to guests staying at Fairfield by Marriott Kyoto Kyotamba.
The Fairfield by Marriott Michinoeki Project operates 29 accommodation-focused hotels across Japan and promotes a travel style that uses each hotel as a base for discovering lesser-known local attractions. Built around the concept "Quest the Unknown Japan" (「未知なるニッポンをクエストしよう」), the project aims to introduce guests to region-specific experiences. The "Tamba Wine Winery Dinner," which lets guests experience the appeal of Kyotamba, has been well received since it first took place in 2022.
Located near the center of Kyoto Prefecture, Kyotamba is known as a treasure trove of ingredients, blessed with large day-night temperature differences, clean water, and fertile soil. The wide variety of ingredients grown in its seasonal natural environment have long supported Kyoto's food culture. In winter, after the harvest season, the flavors of these ingredients deepen even further and are paired with wines nurtured by the local climate.
Dinner Course
The special course features Kyoto duck (京鴨®), a signature brand ingredient of Kyotamba, along with game meat from the abundant mountains and Japanese Black beef. Plenty of seasonal winter vegetables are also used, expressing the bounty of Kyotamba in each dish.
At the venue, Tamba Wine, carefully selected wines are served to pair with each dish. The ingredients grown with Kyotamba's natural bounty and wines rooted in Kyoto's climate come together in a pairing that can only be enjoyed here, in the special setting of a winery.
Christmas night in Kyotamba, wrapped in clear winter air, is spent at a winery lit by soft lighting, savoring the region's bounty with a loved one.
One-Night-Only Christmas Dinner with Kyotamba Winter Ingredients and Tamba Wine

Menu is subject to change without notice depending on ingredient availability.
Wine Pairing
"Kyoto Tamba Cabernet Sauvignon 2023" (「京都丹波 カベルネ・ソーヴィニョン 2023」)
A red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon grown at the winery's own vineyard and aged in barrels for 18 months. Elegant tannins and soft fruitiness blend harmoniously, offering a depth of flavor from barrel aging and a long finish.
"Kyoto Tamba Semillon Late Harvest 2023" (「京都丹波 セミヨン レイトハーベスト 2023」)
A rare dessert wine made from fully ripened grapes with a sugar content of over 35 degrees, carefully hand-picked in late autumn when Tamba mist rolls in. It features a rich aroma reminiscent of citrus and honey and a delicate acidity, making it an elegant finish to the Christmas dessert.
Other carefully selected Tamba Wine labels that bring out the best of the course will also be served.
