The Fruit Wine
Western Norway caught in a glass
Subtle and intense
Playful and grave
From bright summer to somber autumn,
frozen winter to blossoming spring
True in every aspect
Each their own, unique and true
Because nothing can be won by pretending
Vingarden på Jølst / Jølster Fruit Vineyard
Vestavin is transforming an abandoned small farm on sun-drenched hills overlooking Jølstravatnet into Vingarden på Jølst – Jølster Fruit Vineyard.
Throughout the year, the farm shop is open on Thursdays from 4 to 6 PM, and group bookings are always welcome. There are also various events happening – whether it’s a concert, a pop-up restaurant, a wine launch, or cozy Christmas shopping at the vineyard.
Meanwhile, the journey from a run-down small farm with holes in most of its roofs to a unique fruit vineyard is steadily progressing. And the view? It’s simply unbeatable! Read more >
The Dream
Det starta berrføtt i hagen med solbærsaft på fingrane. I potetkjellaren, mellom aromaeple i kassar og kålrot i mose. Det starta ved saftkokaren til mor mi og på far min sine godt løynde multemyrer. Så kom spørsmålet: Kva meir kan det bli?
