Visit to a high-quality Swedish vineyard

I have always been interested in wine and how it is made, so when I got the chance to visit Luna VingÃ¥rd in Lysekil, I was not slow to accept.

We arrived there on a sunny Sunday in August 2023 and were welcomed by the owners, who gave us a guided tour around the vineyard. They spoke enthusiastically about how they started their business, the challenges and joys they faced, and how they take care of their grapes. We got to see how they harvest, press, ferment and bottle their wine in the small winery located next to the restaurant. It was exciting to see how much work and love goes into each bottle.

Luna Vingård – viewing tour among the vines

Luna VingÃ¥rd is one of Sweden's few wineries that grows and produces its own wine on site. They have about 5,000 vines of the Solaris and Pinot Noir varieties, which yield about 1,500 bottles of wine per year. The vineyard is also called "Chateaux" Luna, which gives a sense of French elegance and tradition. The owner was very nice and exuded great knowledge, which made this tour so interesting.

After the tour, it was time to enjoy the food at their tapas restaurant. We chose a tasting menu which consisted of various small dishes inspired by Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. For each dish, we received a brief presentation of what it contained and how it was prepared. Everything was incredibly tasty and well prepared, and the portions were just the right size. As it was Sunday and we had driven to the winery, we skipped the wine this time, but we were advised on which wines would go well with the food. We decided to come back another day and try their wine package, which includes a selection of their own wines.

Restaurant Luna

As I said, we chose the tasting menu, but Luna also has an exciting menu consisting of tapas, small dishes that are perfect for sharing with friends or family. You can choose between ordering a tapas menu, where you get to taste several different dishes, or "charing", where you get a large tray with various delicacies. But, I think the tasting menu is something that many people choose when visiting here. For the food, you can order a wine package that matches each dish, either with Luna's own wine or with other quality wines from different parts of the world.

The wines in the restaurant

Luna is proud of their own wine, which they make from grapes that grow on their own vines. The wine is organic and has a fresh and fruity taste that goes well with many dishes. Unfortunately, they are not allowed to sell their wine by the whole bottle in the restaurant. However, Luna also has a large selection of other wines from different countries and regions, which they have selected with great care and knowledge. They have both red, white and sparkling wines, as well as some sweet dessert wines. If you are not sure what to choose, you can always ask the staff, who are trained sommeliers and can give you good advice.

The business is open

Luna is open all year round, but has different opening hours depending on the season. During some periods they are open from Thursday to Sunday, and during other periods they are open every day. You can always check their website or Facebook page for current opening hours and events. Luna often organizes various activities, such as wine tastings, music quizzes, live music and theme nights. They also offer catering, sommelier rental and other services if you want Luna for your own event.

I can really recommend a visit to Luna Vingård & Tapas Restaurant in Lysekil. It is a unique experience to see how wine is made in Sweden, and to taste their delicious food. You notice that they have a great commitment and knowledge of wine, and that they want to share it with their guests.
