The Vineyard
Vínland will be a one of a kind vineyard, where the vine is grown in greenhouses and sparkling wine is made. Vínland will welcome visitors for an experience all year around, where a guide will take the guests through the wine making process as well as how the geothermal energy is used for growing almost anything in Iceland. Every guest will have the opportunity to taste the wine we make at Vínland, but also buy a bottle to take with them home.
Sparkling wine
At Vínland we will primarily make sparkling wine. The reason for this is the higher price we can charge for it and the celebratory factor of drinking it, making it easier to market and sell. We are also following the theme of the northern more vineyards, who mostly sparkling wine. We will however also produce some red wine in limited amount, from our high tech greenhouse.
High Tech Greenhouse
The vineyard visitor centre will be in a high tech greenhouse, where the environment is manipulated to provide 2 growing seasons a year, making it a spectacular place to visit all year around. In the centre of the greenhouse there will be a stage as a main point of the greenhouse tour, but can also be used for special ceremonies. In this greenhouse we will be able to experiment with more traditional grapes such as pinot noir and chardonnay.
Polytunnels
The bulk og the vine growing will be in done in polytunnels. The vine will grow directly from the soil, and on top of the ground between the vines there will be pipes where geotheral energy will run through to keep the soil frost free all year ardound. Some lighting will be used to suplement for gloomy rainy days in the summer, but mostly we will use natural lighting. The vines are in bloom from April until end of september when harvesting is done.
