Tips from the community

We’ve all drank wine before and probably toured a vineyard and witnessed what wine barrels look like and learned how they’re made. However, you’ve probably never slept in a wine barrel, right? And can you really be called a wine aficionado if you’ve never drank some wine and then slept in the barrel? Obviously, no. Hold your tears and just head to the world’s northernmost vineyard in Telemark, Norway: Lerkekasa. Your stay in the oversized wine barrel comes with wine tasting and meals. The oak used to make this oversized barrel really did used to hold wine and it still sweetly has a hint of that smell left. Overlooking the vineyard, you can relax on your barrel patio savoring the wine produced there, made on such a small scale that it isn’t available anywhere else in the world. Lerkekasa makes wine from grapes, berries, and fruit that are all grown on the property. Visiting here in the spring when the trees and vines are in bloom is especially spectacular.
