We are Ytre Hvaler winery, welcome!
We are located on an island at the far end of the Norwegian Sea, on Søndre Sandøy in Hvaler. Here we grow grapes and Elmsfeuer rhubarb. We make sparkling wine using the traditional method.
For us, passion, collaboration and closeness to nature are at the center.
Ytre Hvaler Vingård is located on the farm Løkkeberg on Søndre Sandøy, at the far end of the Hvaler archipelago. Here, surrounded by sea, rocky cliffs and a unique coastal landscape, we have established a vineyard with strong roots in both nature and the local community.
In May 2022, the first sod was turned in the ground. Together with family, friends and a dedicated volunteer group, we planted 2,500 grapevines over the course of one weekend. Later that spring, 3,800 rhubarb plants were also planted. The dream of Ytre Hvaler Vingård was no longer just an idea – it had become a reality.
The winery is a family business established by Knut H. Hansen, Sander Z. Hansen and Anders H. Lier. With a great passion for wine and pure ingredients, we have had a clear goal of quality from the start. That is why we work closely with some of the leading professionals in their field, including winemaker and cultivation expert Eirik Lund Andersen and master blender and sommelier Francesco Marzola. We believe that experience-based knowledge is crucial to creating wine of the highest quality.
Our ambition is to produce sparkling wine from grapes and rhubarb, with an annual production of between 30,000 and 50,000 bottles. Today we have already produced two sparkling fruit wines based on rhubarb and apples.
Welcome to Ytre Hvaler Vingård – a winery at the edge of the ocean, built on collaboration, knowledge and love for nature.
