Food and cider around the Sognefjorden
Along the lush slopes of the Sognefjord, some of Norway’s finest apples are grown, creating a unique cider tradition rooted in a love for nature and world-class craftsmanship. Experiencing the food culture of this region is like tasting the history of the fjord – a blend of tradition, innovation, and true passion.
Farmers along the fjord have cultivated apples for generations, many passing down old family recipes to produce award-winning cider. When you pick your own apples from trees heavy with fruit, with the fjord as a breathtaking backdrop, you gain a deep connection to the ingredients that makes the tasting experience even more special. Afterwards, you can visit local farms where producers share their stories, passion, and the secrets behind the perfect cider – from pressing the apples to the carefully controlled fermentation process.
A tasting journey here is about more than just cider. Enjoy local cheeses, cured meats, and fresh produce from both fjord and mountain, perfectly balanced with the complex flavors of a sparkling, golden cider. Whether you’re sitting in a farmyard overlooking the fjord or in a cozy cider cellar, this is an experience that brings together flavor, tradition, and nature at its very best.
