The regions of Norway
Choose a region to read its guide, then move closer through its named subregions.
- 01Oslo VikenNo producers listed yetOslo Viken is a Norwegian wine-region listing, rather than a confirmed established appellation. Near Randsfjorden, Thorbjørnrud Vingård planted Solaris, Rondo and Pinot Noir in 2022, then added Solaris and Pinot Noir the following year. It offers a close view of Norway's small, developing wine scene.
- 02RogalandNo producers listed yetRogaland lies in southwestern Norway, with North Sea coast, Boknafjord islands and inland mountains. Its documented vineyard story begins at Hebnes in Ryfylke, where farmers planted their first vines in 2021. The farm later became the county's first vineyard.
- 03Southern NorwayNo producers listed yetSouthern Norway is part of Norway's young wine scene. The country's vineyards cluster in sheltered coastal and fjord-side sites, where protection from wind and cold, along with long summer daylight, gives grapes time to ripen in a short season.
- 04Vestfold TelemarkNo producers listed yetVestfold Telemark covers wine-growing places in Telemark and Vestfold. Gvarv lies between mountains and Norsjø, where summer temperatures can run unusually high. On Tjøme, a 3,000-vine Solaris planting is intended for traditional-method sparkling wine.
- 05Western NorwayNo producers listed yetWestern Norway is home to Hebnes Vineyard beside Sandsfjorden in Suldal, at 59 degrees north. It sits within a young Norwegian wine sector built around early-ripening hybrid grapes, where cool conditions preserve acidity and Solaris is mainly used for sparkling whites; production remains small, though vineyards are appearing farther north.
