Alitalon Viinitila, which trades online as Ciderberg, is an apple and wine farm in Lohja, in the Uusimaa region of southern Finland. It takes groups all year by arrangement for day trips, parties and meeting packages, with a restaurant hall that seats 60 guests. This page is for organizers of small company days, team outings and private celebrations who want a working farm instead of a hotel ballroom.
Seminars and company events
The farm sells tailored excursion, party and meeting packages year round. Groups are hosted by arrangement, so the date, the format and the headcount are agreed with the owners beforehand. A typical company day combines a meal in the restaurant, a wine tasting and a guided tour of the production buildings. The tour covers apple growing, the cellar and the making of wine, and lasts about one hour. It must be booked two days ahead, and a minimum of four people applies. Larger groups are asked to request a quotation.
Activities can be added to the package. The farm has a 12-hole minigolf course and a marked tree trail with 25 stops, and both suit a team break between a working session and lunch. The trail is free to walk and its information boards are also available in English and Russian through QR codes. Organizers planning a bachelor or bachelorette party can ask for a package that includes a meal, a tasting and a round of minigolf.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not present weddings. It does offer party packages for groups, so private celebrations such as anniversaries and family gatherings can be discussed with the farm. Anyone planning a wedding should ask directly whether the restaurant hall and terrace can be used for that purpose.
Rooms and capacities
The only indoor event space described is the restaurant hall of the Saaribaari café-restaurant, which has 60 customer seats. The restaurant holds an alcohol serving licence, so guests can drink the farm's own wines, ciders and berry ciders with their meal. A terrace is available for tastings in good weather. The farm's wine shop is open during opening hours for anyone who wants to take bottles home.
Catering
Groups eat from buffet menus that are designed with the organizer and ordered in advance. Every menu includes dessert, coffee and apple pie, and water is served with the meal. The choices run from soups and casseroles to a salad buffet and a larger country table. Vegetarian options are available on request. The final number of guests, allergies and special diets must be sent one week before the event. Welcome drinks, wine tasting sets and cheese plates can be added.
History and setting
The farm has been a medium-sized Uusimaa farm since the 1500s and opened to visitors in 1996, so 2026 is its thirtieth year of visitor activity. It grows apples and makes wines, ciders and berry-based ciders by hand on Lohjansaari island, using Finnish raw materials such as apple, raspberry, gooseberry, lingonberry and currants. About 18 products are in the range. Sanna and Marko Maula run the farm. Part of the land, 4.5 hectares, is a nature reserve, and the forests are FSC certified.
Getting there
The farm is at Pietiläntie 138 in Lohja, about 60 km from Helsinki. Parking is on site. Groups can also arrive by boat, because the farm has its own pier on the lake, which can be found on Google Maps. Day visitors are welcome again in spring 2027, while groups are received by arrangement throughout the year.
