What is fruit wine and what could it become? How could the unique qualities of everything that grows and thrives right here be elevated and highlighted? These are the questions that triggered founder Camilla Aasen to start exploring and discovering a path that has now lead to Vestavin and Vingarden på Jølst - the Jølster fruitvineyard. Here Vestavin is transforming West Norwegian fruits, berries and more to unique fruit wines in modern wine styles, while simultaneously transforming a derelict farm into a unique fruitvineyard.
