Haug Gard and Odelsgut
Join a great farm experience and broaden your horizons in both Norwegian history, Norwegian cider and see what it's like to be a cider producer in Norway's oldest fruit district.
In about 2 hours, you will get an insight into fruit growing, cider production, and hear more about the family farm's impressive history going all the way back to 1184 - the Battle of Fimreite, the bloodiest battle in Norwegian history between Magnus Erlingsson and King Sverre.
You get to taste different ciders and fruit wines from Odelsgut - made with real love, as well as something light to eat. (Alcohol-free alternative is possible)
You don't have to come to us in nice clothes, be a wine expert or have training as a pommelier. The most important thing is that you are thirsty for new adventures and ready to taste what cider really is.
Here you will meet a pleasant and committed host who will give you an experience you won't forget.
