After years in Michelin-starred restaurants, Jacob Stokkebye set out to fulfill his dream of winemaking, bringing his passion for quality and sustainability to Denmark.

In the heart of Fårevejle, Sjælland, Niels and Nina Fink have transformed 2.5 hectares into an organic-certified vineyard producing 20,000 bottles annually. Since their first vintage in 2014, Vejrhøj Vingård has become a testament to Danish winemaking’s growth, blending passion, creativity, and respect for Nordic terroir.

In the northern Himmerland region, Guldbæk Vingård is redefining what it means to produce wine in Denmark. The cool climate, combined with the team’s approach and dedication to sustainability, has made Guldbæk an example of the potential for Danish wine.

Danish wine is on the rise, capturing growing attention from local wine enthusiasts, international investors, and producers alike. With a vibrant spirit among winemakers and ever-improving quality in the glass, the coming years promise to be an exciting era for Danish viticulture.

The story about Danish wine is a short one. Roughly told it begins in 1993, when the pioneer Michael Gundersen plants his first Rondo vine in Avedøre, where he six years later, in 1999, starts Dansk Vincenter.
