Nygårdsminde Vingård is an organic vineyard near Brønderslev in North Jutland, and it describes itself as Denmark's northernmost commercial vineyard. Organizers can book it for meetings, workshops, networking events, private wine tastings and a small number of weddings. The multi-purpose building Oasen seats up to 60 guests for a wedding feast.
Seminars and company events
The vineyard offers a setting for company meetings, workshops, networking events and private events, with room for both the work program and time together. The site states that the owner, Jan Lunde, plans each event with the client, and that organizers get a price by contacting him directly. It does not list room names or capacities for meetings, so ask about group size and layout when you inquire.
Wine tastings are a core part of the offer for companies, networks and private groups. They run all year and combine a tour of the vineyard, a tasting led by the winegrower and, on request, tapas. The site recommends them for teambuilding and social events. Tastings can also be taken out of the house: the winegrower travels anywhere in Denmark and adapts the evening to the client. In summer holidays the vineyard holds open tours and tastings that need no registration.
Weddings and receptions
The vineyard accepts only a small number of weddings each year, and only when the couple's wishes match the place. It is not a classic party venue. Couples can hold the ceremony in the vineyard or in the green park area, a reception in the courtyard or in Oasen, and a wedding feast in Oasen for up to 60 guests. Oasen is a bright room with large windows and direct access to the grounds.
The couple arranges food and table setting themselves, with delivery from outside. The vineyard's own wines are bought for both reception and feast. Cleaning and preparation are charged, a contract is signed and a deposit is paid in advance.
Rooms and capacities
Oasen is the multi-purpose building with a view over the vineyard, seating up to 60 guests for a wedding feast. Other outdoor settings are the vineyard fields, the park area and the courtyard. The site gives no capacity for the courtyard or the park.
Catering
The vineyard does not run a restaurant for events. Wedding hosts bring food from outside, and the vineyard sells its wines. For tastings, tapas can be added. Besides wine, the vineyard sells gin and juice, which can also be bought on site.
History and setting
Gitte and Jan Lunde run the vineyard on organic principles, and the work in the rows is done by hand. The site calls it the northernmost commercial vineyard in Denmark. The setting is rural, with vine rows, grass and farmland around the buildings.
Getting there
The vineyard is at Tolstrupvej 102, 9700 Brønderslev, in North Jutland. The site gives no information on public transport, so check parking and arrival with the winegrower when you book.
