North Zealand has become a destination for wine lovers, food enthusiasts and experience-seeking travellers looking to taste Danish wine in beautiful, green surroundings close to Copenhagen. The region is home to several passionate wineries, where you can stroll through the vineyards, go behind the scenes of the production and take part in wine tastings — or buy a bottle directly from the farm shop.
The wine region of North Zealand benefits from a climate and landscape that allow local producers to grow grape varieties suited to cooler conditions. The result is everything from crisp white wines and elegant rosés to full-bodied reds and sparkling wines with character.
Plan your wine tasting in North Zealand
When visiting the wineries, you can often book guided tastings where you’ll hear the story of the wine’s journey from vine to glass — and sample a range of different varieties while learning more about the grapes and the craft behind each bottle.
The wineries are scattered across scenic landscapes, making it easy to combine a wine tasting with a walk, a cycling trip or a picnic overlooking fields and woodland — for example, near the National Park Royal North Zealand
