At Baldervoll Fruit & Wine Farm in Leikanger, we grow wine grapes where many didn't think it was possible: 61.1 degrees north, on the edge of the Sognefjord in Norway.

Since 2022, we have planted a total of 2,300 grapevines across 12 different grape varieties.

From the edge of the fjord and up across the fertile fields at Husabø, the vines thrive on a slope perfectly angled toward the sun. The long Norwegian summer light and the reflections off the fjord give slow ripening and a distinctive freshness.

We grow according to organic principles, mindful of the connection between soil, plants, and the nature around us. Rich life in the soil is the foundation for healthy plants and fruit with real character.

The soil in Leikanger is old and rich in nutrients. Our vines are rooted in the sediment left behind by the sea in the fjord landscape after the ice age. We believe this can give the grapes a unique character.

At Baldervoll, we also grow juicy apples, pears, plums, and apricots.

Behind the wine at Baldervoll stands the "wine trio" of Leif Inge Husabø, Iselin Kjelsaas, and Roar W. Vangsnes. Together with eight other local vineyards, we're developing Sogn into the world's northernmost commercial wine region.
