In 2018, the European Union granted Denmark its very first wine region.
The wine region DONS is Denmark’s first and the EU’s northernmost appellation, on equal terms as the perhaps more famous regions of Bordeaux, Champagne, La Rioja, and Piedmont. Skærsøgaard’s sparkling wines “DONS” received Denmark’s first PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), which is equivalent to the French AOC and the Italian DOC.
The wine region DONS consists of 500 hectares of the glacial valley in the innermost part of Kolding Fjord, near the hamlet of Dons. The estate winery of Skærsøgaard is centrally located in the wine region and produces acclaimed sparkling quality wines.
The designation DONS (PDO) ensures a certified standard of quality.
Skørsøgaard Vin is finally open to visitors!
We are looking forward to once again being able to welcome visitors to the winery after a long period of Covid-19-lockdown. The first scheduled visit will happen on Wednesday, 12th of May at 7 PM. Henceforth, “The Great Tasting” will occur on the very first Wednesday of every month until November. In addition to this, during the magnificent Danish summer, we offer not only “The Summer Tasting” with a selection of pertinent wines, but also “The Summer Tour”, where you will have the opportunity to behold the vineyard in its prime.
We will adhere to any applicable corona-related restrictions at all times; but fortunately, our premises are spacious, so we are warmly anticipating a wonderful summer full of life and its most important component: Wine!
