Utevin AS: Wine for the Great Outdoors
From the sun-drenched hills of Southern France to the rugged beauty of the Norwegian coast. Sustainable, climate-friendly, and crafted for your next adventure.
Rooted in Nature, Blended for the North
Utevin AS was born from a passion for the Norwegian outdoors and the belief that great wine should accompany life's most scenic moments. Whether you are on a pier, by the sea, or around a crackling fire, our wines are designed to elevate the experience.
Our collection features three distinct characters: Bryggevin (Pier Wine), Skjærgårdsvin (Archipelago Wine), and Bålvin (Bonfire Wine). Each bottle represents a commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
