Right now, there's a lot happening in the Skåne wine landscape. Here, where 80% of all Swedish wines are produced, our vineyards are experiencing an exciting time of growth and recognition. The recently approved on-farm sales of wine have opened doors that were never open before – and the results exceed expectations.

The successes of Skåne vineyards at last year's Swedish Wine Tasting have also put international spotlights on our local wine producers.

It's simply the best time for visitors to experience the Skåne wine scene up close – taste wines directly from the source, meet passionate producers and discover the stories behind each bottle.

Read on to explore the vineyards that are open to visitors.

Systembolaget

In Sweden, all alcoholic beverages containing over 3.5% alcohol by volume are sold through the government owned chain called Systembolaget. 

You have to be over 20 to buy alcoholic beverages at Systembolaget. The age limit for ordering alcohol in bars and restaurants is 18. The reason for this monopoly is to control and reduce damage caused by overconsumption and to promote a moderate drinking culture. Systembolaget is in central locations in most Swedish cities.
