10 wine bar places in Sapporo we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Sapporo | Wine Bar across every city.

Sapporo's wine bars sit mostly in Maruyama and Susukino, often blurring into the city's sake and yakiniku culture. Hikidashi, Kusuriya San no Wine Bar and Wine to Yakiniku Maruyama JIN anchor the Maruyama side, while Wine no Maruyama Ya keeps counters near both Sapporo Station and Susukino. The crossover is clear at Bar Kamata's sake bar and Sake Naga, with The Nikka Bar and Bar Garbo nearby in Susukino.
