Sweden's sunlit south — vineyards, castle estates, white beaches and the country's most celebrated food culture, explored privately and at your own pace.
Skåne is the gentle, golden soul of the south. Far from the rugged forests of the north, it greets you with rolling hills, endless rapeseed fields and white sandy beaches — and a soil so fertile it has fed Sweden for centuries.
The magic of Skåne lies in its slow life. It is found in half-timbered farmhouses, medieval castles and young vineyards putting Swedish wine on the map. It is a region of light and space, where every country road leads to a farm shop, a smokehouse or a secluded beach — the ultimate destination for conscious epicureans.
“A patchwork of flavours and endless horizons.”
Skåne · SwedenAround 80 per cent of all Swedish wine is produced in Skåne. Mild winters, long summer days and limestone-rich soils have given rise to a new generation of winemakers — from sparkling wines on Österlen to organic and biodynamic estates on the Bjäre peninsula.
We arrange private tastings with the producers themselves: Arilds Vingård on the Kulla peninsula, biodynamic Thora Vingård between Torekov and Båstad, Skepparps Vingård near Brösarp and Åhus Vingård on the east coast — often paired with lunch among the vines.
Lund, home to one of Scandinavia's oldest universities, founded in 1666, and Malmö with its design scene and celebrated restaurants are both within easy reach — a perfect day between vineyards and coast.
High on the cliffs above Kåseberga, around ten kilometres from Ystad, stand Ale's Stones — 59 boulders forming a 67-metre ship setting overlooking the Baltic, believed to be around 1,400 years old. At sunset, with the sea below, it is one of the most atmospheric places in Scandinavia.
Skåne also has the highest concentration of castles and manor houses in Sweden. Stay at Bäckaskog Slott, a former 13th-century monastery set between two lakes, or visit the great estates for private garden walks, tastings and dinners.
Dramatic cliffs, sea caves and lighthouses at the tip of the Kulla peninsula — with the fishing villages of Arild and Mölle nearby.
