Valgejõe Wine Villa reveals the flavours of Estonian nature in every bottle

Our wines are served in Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe and in the best restaurants in Estonia. The Wine Villa is part of the Estonian Wine Route, a route connecting Estonian wineries.

At the Wine Villa, you can book in advance to taste local fruit, berry and grape wines, take part in a social adventure game called Wine Adventure, learn to make your own wine at a home winemaking course, taste wines in the Lahemaa forest, enjoy a multi-course farmhouse gourmet meal paired with local wines, and at almost any time you can buy all the wines on offer.

It can comfortably accommodate up to 50 people.

All the raw materials used come from Estonia, and the wines are vegan-friendly, as no animal products are used in any stage of the wine making process. Our style has become to use pure juice without adding water to preserve the most authentic flavours of nature. We will also experiment with herbs from the home garden and unusual raw materials.

Our production

Annual production is around 9,000 bottles, depending on the year of harvest, but batches can vary greatly in size – from a few hundred to a few thousand litres.
