Most Swedish vineyards are in the southernmost region named Skåne, not surprising given the warmer climate this part of Sweden offers compared to the rest of the country.
Some of them are in the northwest part of Skåne, and now the main cities here, Helsingborg, Höganäs, Ängelholm and Båstad, are collaborating to highlight the region’s vineyards through a marketing initiative named Terra Skåne – Sweden’s Wine Region.
Terra Scaniae was the name of Skåne during the Middle Ages, when the region was part of Denmark. Nine wine estates and the participating municipalities will work to attract more visitors to the wineries and to this part of Skåne. “There is enormous knowledge and passion among the wine producers, and through this collaboration, we want to make it easier for more people to discover Swedish wines and visit the region,” says Linus Svensson, Höganäs municipality.
For Viktor Dahl, CEO of Kullaberg Vineyards, Terra Skåne is an important step forward that will provide better opportunities to reach new target groups.
The nine wineries in Terra Skåne are
- Kullaberg Vineyards,
- Aplagården Boutique Winery,
- Ljungbyholms Vineyards,
- Vejby Vineyards,
- Thora Vineyards,
- Halldora,
- Lottenlund Estate,
- Aftonmora Vineyards and
- Arilds Vineyards.
