GASTRONOMY FLOURISHES HERE
The Heart of Jutland is a true food mecca. The area stretches north of Vejle and southwards - with the lush Fjordland to the east and the more frugal soils to the west. Geography gives the area unparalleled gastronomic diversity. Berries, mushrooms, vegetables, game, pork, lamb, poultry, fish, unique microbrews, Danish wine and whisky. And two Michelin star restaurants on top of that.

Go. Eat. Meet. Local
Take a tour of our larder for a few days. The only rule is that you must not be in a hurry. Take your time. Talk to a beekeeper. Enjoy a food tour with a local foodie. Find a cosy Bed & Breakfast like Bella’s. She’s on a first-name basis with the cow that provides the milk for your breakfast. Head out to Skærsøgaard Vineyard and enjoy the big tasting of Danish wines that have received top marks in official tastings.
Find your way to Lindely Wine the day after and enjoy a wine tasting with Danish speciality wines and a tapas buffet. Or spend some of your second day in the Geographical Garden. If you want to get up close to the locals, see if you can get on a weekend-long gastronomic survival tour. In return, it will take you past all the region’s specialities.
