Hello, I'm Michael, an American living in Vittsjö, Swedens only Blue Zone, with my wife Amanda, who is Swedish, and our daughter, Zoe. My vision is to create a unique vineyard experience that blends viticulture with music, mushroom cultivation, Vegetables and wildflowers.
There is never a typical day at our place, so much depends on the weather. We will be doing everything from painting, pruning, weeding, harvesting honey, planting or perhaps a little carpentry.
Depending on our bookings, we offer housing at the house located on the vineyard or our hotelI/Inn. You always have your own private room and when we possible, your own private bathroom and shower in the room as well, though you might have to share a bathroom depending on the accommodations available.
We usually start each day at 9:15-09:30. We will meet for breakfast at the hotel, pack ourselves a lunch and then head out to the vineyard where will take a decision on what is to be done that day.
You are free to break whenever you want and we usually finish up by 14:30-15:00.
If the weather is lousy, we usually break off for the day.
You'll have 2 days off a week.
We have 4 electric bikes which you are welcome to use to explore and find nice swimming spots in the area.
Dinner will either be at the house or at the hotel. We do all of the cooking for you and offer as much as possible fresh from the vineyard. Depending on the accommodation that's available you might also have your private kitchen - let us know if this is important to you.
Amanda and I have traveled the world extensively and have spent most of our professional life working as chefs. Music is very important to us which is one reason we play music for our plants year round. We are fortunate to live in a beautiful region of Norra Skåne surrounded by forest and small lakes. There is a wonderful golf course 3 kilometers from the vineyard. One of Swedens favorite hiking trails (Skåneleden) goes directly by the vineyard. The train and bus stop right here in Vittsjö and you can be in Copenhagen it just over an hour.
