Sweden

Sweden’s vineyards are concentrated in the south, led by Skåne and Halland, with Gotland and a few regions farther north. Long summer days and a cool growing season favour fresh styles. Site choice and hardy grapes are especially important.

The regions of Sweden

Choose a region to read about its wines and explore the smaller growing areas within it.

  1. 01Gotland3 producersGotland is Sweden's largest island, with limestone soils, sea winds and relatively sunny summers. Its small winegrowing scene produces still and sparkling wines with lively acidity. Solaris is an important white grape, while Rondo generally makes lighter reds and rosés.
  2. 02Halland1 producerHalland is a province on Sweden's southern west coast, with vineyards growing Solaris alongside other grape varieties. Solaris makes white and sparkling wines here and is also blended with the red grape Rondo for rosé. Halland is a growing area rather than a legally delimited wine appellation.
  3. 03Ostergotland3 producersOstergotland is a winegrowing area in Sweden. At Valla Vingård, Solaris vines were first planted in 2024 on a south-facing slope with sandy moraine over limestone.
  4. 04Other producers17 producersThese Swedish producers have no more specific region listed.
  5. 05Skane21 producersSkåne is a winegrowing region in Sweden and home to most of the country's vineyards. Many sit on low coastal land where soils change over short distances. Surrounding water can reduce frost risk in the northwest, while southeastern valleys can collect cold air. Wines include crisp whites, mild reds and rosés.
  6. 06Vastra GotalandNo producers listed yetVineyards in Sweden's Västra Götaland seek sunny, well-drained ground. Solaris makes white wines with citrus and apple flavours, while other early-ripening grapes supply lighter reds and rosés. Producers also make sparkling wines, often from Solaris.
