Local tips
- Plan at least two hours if you want to combine a vineyard tour with an unhurried tasting and time in the café or on the terrace.
- Check in advance which guided tours or tastings are offered on your chosen day, as some experiences require pre-booking and can be seasonal.
- Bring a layer for walking among the vines; even on sunny days, sea breezes on the Røsnæs peninsula can feel cool.
- If you plan to buy wine or spirits, consider your onward transport and luggage space, as many of the most interesting bottles are estate exclusives.
- Non-drinkers can still enjoy the visit: focus on the landscape, café food and learning about Nordic viticulture without joining every tasting round.

Vines on the Røsnæs Peninsula
Dyrehøj Vingaard lies on the Røsnæs peninsula west of Kalundborg, where dry air, steady sea breezes and generous sunlight create one of Denmark’s most promising wine-growing microclimates. Neat rows of vines run down towards views of the surrounding waters, making the landscape feel more Mediterranean than you might expect this far north. Planted in 2008 on south-facing slopes, the vineyard has expanded steadily to cover many hectares, now counting tens of thousands of vines. The setting is open and rural, with fields, hedgerows and the outline of the fjord all playing a part in the sense of space. Even on cooler days, the light and the breeze are constant companions as you look across the estate.From Pioneering Idea to Denmark’s Largest Vineyard
Viticulture in Denmark is still young, and Dyrehøj Vingaard has been one of its key pioneers. The estate was established by local siblings who saw the potential of Røsnæs’ climate just as northern Europe was warming enough to support quality wine production. What began as a few thousand vines has grown into the country’s largest vineyard, with production facilities, a distillery and a visitor-focused farm. White grape varieties adapted to cooler climates dominate, with Solaris playing a starring role. These grapes can ripen fully in the long northern summer days while retaining marked freshness, making them ideal for crisp, aromatic wines. Alongside the still whites you find sparkling wines, rosés, lighter reds and an expanding range of spirits distilled from estate-grown fruit.Cellars, Distillery and the Taste of Røsnæs
Winemaking and distillation take place on site, so a visit reveals every stage of the process. Presses, tanks and barrel storage are housed in bright, functional buildings, emphasizing a modern approach to craftsmanship. The estate also operates a distillery, where grape-based spirits and liqueurs are produced in small batches. Guided tours, when available, typically include a walk among the vines and a look into production areas before ending with tastings. The wines often highlight vivid acidity and clean fruit, while estate spirits provide a stronger, more aromatic expression of Røsnæs’ raw materials. Labels frequently reference the peninsula, underlining how closely the products are tied to this particular corner of Zealand.Café Life and Farm Shop Discoveries
At the heart of the visitor experience is a farm shop and café housed in converted farm buildings. Shelves are lined with bottles of white, sparkling, rosé and red wine, as well as estate-made spirits and selected local delicacies, making it an appealing stop whether you are browsing or stocking up. The café and wine bar serve glasses or flights alongside light dishes and charcuterie-style plates, especially in the warmer months. Indoors, you sit among rustic beams and contemporary Scandinavian touches; outside, simple terrace seating lets you linger over a glass while looking across vineyards and gently rolling countryside. Tastings can be as casual as a quick sample at the counter or as structured as a pre-booked session.Seasonal Atmosphere and Visitor Experience
The mood at Dyrehøj Vingaard shifts with the seasons. In spring and early summer, vines burst into leaf and the estate feels fresh and green, with longer days inviting unhurried afternoons. Late summer and early autumn bring the drama of ripening fruit and, eventually, harvest, when the tempo of work in the fields and cellar increases noticeably. Even in cooler months the vineyard retains its appeal, with the emphasis moving indoors to the warmth of the café and tasting room. Low winter light over the peninsula can be striking on clear days, and the quieter atmosphere suits those more interested in conversation and learning than in strolling the rows.A Scenic Stop on a Coastal Day Out
Dyrehøj Vingaard also functions as an easy anchor point for exploring Røsnæs. The peninsula is known for coastal paths, viewpoints and small attractions scattered among farms and fields, and the vineyard fits naturally into a day spent tracing its roads and trails. With opening hours that usually cover the middle of the day, it slots comfortably between a morning walk and an evening by the water. Whether you arrive for a dedicated tasting, a relaxed lunch or simply a look at a working Danish vineyard, the combination of landscape, local wine and laid‑back farm atmosphere makes Dyrehøj Vingaard a distinctive stop in this part of Zealand.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
