Alitalo Winery
Welcome
During the summer season, tourists are welcome to visit the Alitalo winery every day to enjoy the beautiful countryside and the farm's products.
The Alitalo winery is a medium-sized farm in the Uusimaa region. The winery was opened to the public in 1996, and tourism at the farm has grown over the years. The magnificent nature of Lohjansaari, the farm's arable fields, and the groves of thousands of apple trees create an unforgettable experience near the capital region.
The Alitalo winery is a place where the whole family can enjoy themselves. We offer enjoyable activities for children and adults alike. In addition to the farm's own drinks, our fully licensed café also offers snacks and food with something for both smaller and bigger appetites. Our wine boutique sells the farm's own products to take home or give as gifts.
The farm's cute animals will entertain children and adults alike, while a new tree route and a round of mini-golf offer a nice escape from everyday life. A moment alone with adults over a glass of wine can almost make time stand still.
The farm grows apples and produces a variety of wines, apple ciders, and currant ciders. Over the years, the owner couple Sanna and Marko Maula have developed several new, local products. They have especially aimed to ensure the quality and diversity of products. All products are handmade in Lohjansaari using domestic raw materials.
Towards the end of the summer season, there is also an opportunity to pick raspberries yourself. The exact date will be announced on the farm's Facebook page.

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 farm's own signature products, The Viders, have risen to great popularity over the years. What distinguishes the viders from the ciders is that no apple has been used in their preparation. So the Viders are "berry ciders." You can call me cider only beverages made from apples.
Our selection also includes traditional apple ciders made from apples from our own farm through spontaneous fermentation. The ciders are filtered.
Wines
We make a variety of wines from dry to sweet, and everything in between. In addition to apple, we use raspberry, gooseberry, lingonberries and black, white, red and greencurrant as raw materials for wines. Our selection also includes a few sparkling wine.
We strive to develop new products all the time, and you will definitely find the wine you like in our selection.
In 2019, our sweet blackcurrant wine Juhani won the Finnish farm wine competition.
Our products are seasonal, so we cannot guarantee that everything will always be in stock. Particularly at the end of the summer season, some products may have run out.
