Explore Danish Wine Regions

Denmark is best known for its production of beer (the world-famous Carlsberg is Danish), and as one of the Scandinavian countries, it might sound incredible that Denmark also has a wine industry. The development of a wine-growing tradition started at the end of the 20^th century, when the climate changed.

Denmark's wines come from four areas with protected geographical indication: Jutland and Zealand, the main producing areas, plus the islands of Funen and Bornholm. The climate of these wine areas is great for the production of apple and cherry-based liqueurs and fruit wines.

Danish vineyards are mostly planted with varieties that survive in cold weather, such as the hybrid white variety Orion and Madeleine Angevine, another white variety that has an early-ripening period. These varieties take advantage of the long summer days and develop a full and complex flavor.
