Lottenlund Estate sits in Allerum just north of Helsingborg in Skåne. The property combines sustainable viticulture with orchard farming and craft distillation. Established on fertile soils near the coast, the vineyard focuses heavily on cold climate grape varieties cultivated with organic practices.
What You Can Do
Visitors can take guided tours through the vine rows to learn about cool climate viticulture in southern Sweden. Guided tastings take place in the dedicated tasting room where guests sample white, rosé, and fortified wines alongside estate produced spirits. Cellar tours reveal the production processes behind both the winemaking and the craft distillation of gin and vermouth.
What They Offer
The estate produces wines made predominantly from Solaris and Muscaris grapes alongside distilled spirits infused with local botanicals. Facilities include a modern tasting room, an event hall for private gatherings, and outdoor seating looking out over the fields. Guest accommodation is available in converted farm buildings on the grounds, providing simple and comfortable lodging immersed in the countryside.
Activities
Guests can explore the surrounding countryside on walking trails that wind through nearby beech forests and agricultural land. Seasonal events include harvest participation days, pruning workshops, and spirit blending masterclasses. The coastal city of Helsingborg and the nature reserves of the Kulla peninsula are located a short drive away for day trips.
Food to Eat
Dining experiences at the estate focus on seasonal Skåne produce paired directly with house wines and spirits. Charcuterie boards, artisan cheeses, and locally baked breads are served during tastings. Pop up dining events feature multi course meals prepared by guest chefs using wild herbs, local game, and fresh vegetables from nearby farms.
Why Visit
Lottenlund Estate delivers an informative look into Swedish winemaking and craft distillation. The clear focus on organic farming and local ingredients creates a distinct grounded experience in the Skåne countryside.
My visit to the estate offered a thorough understanding of cold climate wine production. The guided tasting was clear and engaging, highlighting the bright acidity of the Solaris vintage. The indoor seating area can feel slightly crowded during busy weekend tours, but the quality of the drinks and the welcoming atmosphere make it a memorable stop.
