Although wine is usually associated with southern climes, Denmark has a growing wine production and the quality gets better and better every season. You can visit a Danish winery all over the country: You can find vineyards in Denmark from the Limfjord in North Jutland to the idyllic landscapes of Funen, Zealand and the South Sea Islands all the way to the rocky island of Bornholm.At Danishwine.com it is our mission to make you aware of this hidden treasure.

Denmark was recognized by the EU as a geographical wine area in 2000. We are in a Cold climate zone, which is a reference to viticulture in a country with large differences in temperature from day and night and seasons.
Despite being a young wine country, in 2018 we got our first appellation with Skærsøgaard’s sparkling wines “DONS.”
It’s not just a matter of pride, but a testament to quality and innovation in the production of Danish winethat you can develop an entire industry in such a short time.
Danish wineries represent a growing niche within our agricultural sector, combining traditional farming methods with wine production.
Despite Denmark’s relatively new status as a wine-producing country, Danish wineries have managed to adapt grape varieties and cultivation techniques to the cool Nordic climate, resulting in unique wines that contribute to and enrich the Nordic food culture.
In addition to wine production, the vineyards have become popular tourist destinations, offering wine events where you can sample Danish wine. Wine tasting and vineyard tours attract both local and international visitors. This tourism creates new economic opportunities for Danish wine producers and supports an experiential approach to tourism in Denmark. With wine merchants and restaurants now stocking Danish wines, the potential for the Danish wine industry looks promising, both supporting the local economy and strengthening Denmark’s image as a country with a rich and varied gastronomic culture.
