Cold Hand Winery hosts company events, private dinners and weddings for up to 80 guests in a restored stable building on a fruit winery near Randers, Denmark. Business groups can combine a guided tasting, a brunch, a lunch or a seated dinner with wine. The estate stands at Haversmosevej 21, just west of Randers.
Seminars and company events
The winery sells staff events and company gatherings as set formats that include a tour of the production building. A tasting of five to six wines with snacks, cheese and sweets lasts about two and a half hours. A brunch with buffet, homemade juices, sparkling wine and one glass of ice wine lasts four hours. A lunch buffet with two wines also lasts four hours. A dinner with welcome sparkling wine, snacks, three courses, a wine menu, coffee and a sweet finish runs about five hours and can be extended. The site shows no meeting-room or conference setup, so this place suits team days, client evenings and staff parties rather than technical seminars.
Minimum numbers apply to private parties and events. On weekdays the winery asks for at least 20 paying guests. From Friday to Sunday the minimum is 30. For brunch and weddings it is 40. Smaller groups are asked to write to the winery, and they can also join the scheduled events that accept individual bookings.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held for up to 60 guests. The wedding format includes welcome sparkling wine, snacks, a three-course meal, a wine menu, coffee and an after-dinner drink, with an overnight stay available as an add-on. In summer, the event or part of it can move to the outdoor restaurant at the winery.
Rooms and capacities
The event room is a restored stable building. The winery can host up to 80 guests in total, and 60 for a wedding. The official site does not publish room names, ceiling heights or layout plans, so ask for a floor plan when you enquire. Parking is available directly outside the event room.
Accommodation
Guests can stay overnight in glamping accommodation at the winery, either in wine barrels or in glamping tents. The site does not give the number of beds, so confirm the sleeping capacity before you plan an event with an overnight stay.
Catering
Food is cooked by the winery's own kitchen team and matched to the fruit wines made on site, from apple, cherry, blackcurrant, pear and quince. The range covers ice wines, sparkling wines, fortified wines and spirits, made by freezing the fruit must to concentrate sugar, acidity and aroma. Companies can also order wine gifts.
History and setting
The winery began in 2010, when Jens Skovgaard set out to make a Danish apple ice wine, and he later teamed up with fruit grower Flemming. Today the wines are sold through retailers, the farm shop and a webshop, and they are served in restaurants in Denmark and abroad.
Getting there
The winery lies just west of Randers, around 12 minutes by car from the E45 motorway. The site presents it as a day out for groups from Randers, Viborg and Aarhus.
