A Dual Passion for Wine and Christmas Traditions
Justenborg is a working agricultural estate driven by the vision of Claus Justsen and Inge Lunding, who have transformed their 52-hectare property into a destination where visitors experience both viticulture and seasonal celebration. The estate dedicates 16 hectares to cultivating Christmas trees and an additional 2 hectares to wine production, creating an unusual but harmonious combination of rural pursuits. This blend reflects the owners' commitment to showcasing what can be achieved in Denmark's challenging climate, where cool summers and unpredictable weather demand skill and dedication from those who work the land.Wine Production in the Danish Landscape
The vineyard at Justenborg represents an ambitious venture into Danish wine production. Despite the country's northern latitude and variable growing conditions, the estate has successfully cultivated grapes and produces wine on-site. Visitors are invited to taste these wines during weekend visits, gaining insight into the complexities of viticulture in Scandinavia. The wines reflect both the terroir of the region and the determination of producers who have chosen to pursue this craft in an environment where it is far from conventional. The tasting experience offers a window into the estate's agricultural philosophy and the rewards of perseverance.The Christmas Tree Experience
Beyond wine, Justenborg has become known for its Christmas tree offerings. The extensive tree cultivation allows visitors to select and cut their own trees, transforming the harvest into a participatory experience rather than a simple transaction. This hands-on approach connects families and individuals to the seasonal rhythm of the countryside and provides a memorable alternative to purchasing pre-cut trees. The variety and quality of trees available reflect years of careful cultivation and selection, ensuring that visitors find specimens suited to their needs and preferences.Seasonal Rhythms and Visitor Access
The estate operates on a seasonal schedule aligned with the Christmas period. Opening all weekends in December and extending into weekdays as Christmas Eve approaches, Justenborg welcomes visitors during the heart of the holiday season. Weekend hours run from 10:00 to 15:00, providing a defined window for visits. This schedule reflects the estate's integration into the local community's seasonal celebrations while maintaining the working agricultural character of the property. The limited opening period creates a sense of occasion and anticipation around each visit.Rural Setting and Agricultural Heritage
Located on Vroldvej in Skanderborg, Justenborg sits within the Danish countryside, offering visitors a genuine rural experience. The estate's scale—52 hectares of working land—provides ample space for both production and visitor engagement without compromising the agricultural operations. The setting embodies the character of Danish rural life, where family enterprises maintain traditions while adapting to contemporary interests in local production, sustainability, and experiential tourism. Walking the grounds, visitors encounter the reality of farming life and the landscape that sustains both wine and tree cultivation.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
