Wine festival
AUGUST 30 2025 | 11-17
Now it happens again! The most pleasant wine mingle of the summer. In a bay very close to you. Shedule the last saturday of August right now. You'll be busy between 11 AM and 5 PM, and probably the rest of the evening too. Bring a couple of lovely friends, let thoose you meet on the way join. Arm yourself with proper shoes, a hat for the sun and your very best mood for a late summers day that you will stay with you all the way to spring equinox. At least.
A journey of flavours
FROM APELVIKEN, HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE
Seven hangouts in the same bay. From Varbergs Kusthotell in the north to &Olles in the south. Just a few hundred meters apart. Start 'over there'. Squeeze in Aotearoa between Rio Negro and a Riesling. Or something completely different. Take it as you like, entirely as you feel, a bit like you are. As the mood strikes. Like Apelviken.
​
This year, Monique is taking on France while &Olle dives into Italy and Solviken explores Serbia. Varbergs Kusthotell will take you to Portugal, John’s Place returns to South Africa, Nisse’s Bodega grabs hold of New Zealand, and Britta’s Strandveranda maps out Spain.
How it works
GOOD TO KNOW
Every restaurant serves a sampler of four different wines from the same country. A 4cl sample is one coupon, 30 SEK, for some two coupons. 10-coupon booklets are 300 SEK. Special glasses provided. 30 SEK or one coupon. Bring your glass between the restaurants – and take it home at the end of the day. If you have been here before, you will of course bring your glass from last year – to come well prepared. In the festival programme, which you will find where you buy the festival’s coupon booklets, all wines are presented with name, description, region, grape(s), alcohol content and Systembolaget item number, where applicable.

Do you want to get the most out of the Wine Festival? Being here on time, and keep feeling the good vibes in the bay the rest of the evening without having to drive home.
