Alitalo Winery
The Alitalo farm is a medium-sized Neolithic farm dating back to the 1500s. The winery was opened to the public in 1996, and tourism has boomed over the years. Especially in summer, the magnificent nature of Lohjansaari, the farm's cultivated fields and forests of thousands of apple trees create a wonderful setting for day-trippers and groups, right on the outskirts of the capital region!
The farm grows apples and produces a variety of wines, ciders and liqueurs. Over the years, the entrepreneurial couple Sanna and Marko Maula have developed several new and local products, with a special focus on quality and domestic ingredients. All our products are handcrafted in Lohjansaari and offer a unique tasting experience to our visitors.

Day trippers
The Alitalo winery is ideal for families, couples, solo travellers and groups. The Alitalo winery is a destination for the whole family, offering interesting activities for children and adults alike. Our café-restaurant is A-rated and offers not only the farm's own drinks but also café products and delicious food options. Our wine shop sells the farm's own products to take home or as gifts. The farm's pampering animals will entertain children and adults alike, and the tree trail and a round of mini-golf offer a nice alternative to everyday life.
Wine Boutique
A wine shop is attached to the farm and serves its customers daily during the summer season and all year round by appointment. The wine shop sells wines, ciders, liqueurs and sparkling wines handcrafted on the farm to take home. The products are made from the best local berries and apples.
During the apple season, the farm also sells apple juice and apples.
Purchased alcoholic beverages may only be delivered to your address if you hold a license to serve alcoholic beverages and a license for retailing alcoholic beverages. (Alcohol Act)
The Viders and ciders
Our own signature products, the Viiders, have grown in popularity over the years. What distinguishes ciders from ciders is that no apple is used in their production. In other words, ciders are "berry ciders". Only drinks made from apples can be called cider.
Our range also includes traditional apple ciders, made from apples grown on our own farm through spontaneous fermentation. The ciders are filtered. They are produced at different times and due to their popularity, we cannot guarantee that all of them are available on the farm.
White currant cider 4,2 %
Raspberry cider 5,5 %
Black currant cider 4,5 %
Dry and semi-sweet apple cider 5,5 %
French-style strong apple cider 7,5 %
Wines and sparkling wines
We produce several different wines by hand in Lohjansaari. We currently (2024) have about 18 different products in our range. From dry to sweet, there is a wine to suit everyone's taste and our extensive range of wines is sure to have something for everyone. We use only high quality domestic ingredients in the production of our wines. The raw materials are apple, raspberry, gooseberry, lingonberry, black, white, red and green currant. Our products are seasonal, so we cannot guarantee that everything is in stock. Especially at the end of the summer season, some products may be out of stock.
