Discover Aquavit

Atlungstad Brenneri was established back in 1855. Ever since then, thousands of visitors from across the globe travel to the company to taste its aquavit. Guided tours including tasting have a duration of about 1.5 hours. Information regarding the production and the variations in the Norwegian national spirits, barrel storage, seasoning and how aquavit can best be served is provided to visitors. You can try out four different types of aquavits here.

The best part about the service is that it can also be combined with many other pleasant visits to Hedmark, including Jernbanemuseet, Anno Museum, Proysenhuset, Skibladner, Stange Vestbygd, Mios Farms, Simenstad Farms and the Pilgrim’s tours. A visit to Atlungstad Brenneri fits well as an excursion for teams, clubs or groups who want a unique experience. The beautiful, red-brick buildings of Atlungstad Brenneri are idyllically situated at the edge of a lake in Stange Vestbygd, also referred to as “The Tuscany of the North”. The 30 meter high burner pipe can be seen from Hamar, which is only a short bike ride away. Atlungstad is a unique cultural monument where you get to see both Norwegian industrial architecture, burning history, and Norwegian aquavit production in the last 150 years.
