At the top of Fejø, 18 metres above sea level, in the island’s most beautiful natural surroundings, Hideaway Vineyard stands out in its Italian colours and style. The estate covers 2.3 ha and includes a winery, restaurant, 1.4 hectares of vineyard, and one of Northern Europe’s largest collections of fig trees planted outdoors. In addition, there are various Mediterranean plants such as cork oak, Italian cypress, magnolias and hemp palms.

The vineyard celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026, making it one of Denmark’s oldest commercial vineyards with mature vines. The wines are complex, fruity, and with an edge—just the way winery and vineyard manager Lou Langdon, as well as owner and hostess at the restaurant, Karin Hvidtfeldt, like them.

The grapes are grown organically and using regenerative principles such as green manure, flower strips, spreading organic material, and an awful lot of hours of work in the vineyard. In the winery, the principles are spontaneous fermentation and low intervention, lees ageing, and respect for nature’s processes.

The restaurant focuses on local ingredients and green cooking. The signature dish is vine-leaf rolls made from Solaris vine leaves filled with venison, pasta made by Fejø’s Italian pasta maker, and plenty of crisp salads. The vineyard’s production of figs, deep-red vineyard peaches, mini kiwis, and apricots forms the basis for mouth-watering desserts, which of course should be enjoyed with a glass of the vineyard’s delicate dessert wines.
