Stockholm by Absolut

Stockholm by Absolut

A tippling journey of natural discovery to Sweden’s verdant vodka county. 

Home of Absolut ⋅ Vodka masterclass ⋅ Nature foraging ⋅ Malmö nightlife

The fascinating Skåne region of Sweden, known for its beech forests and apple orchards, is our base for this deep-dive into a lesser-known part of Scandinavia. We discover local gourmet produce, take to the water in a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and explore the world of Absolut in Åhus – every drop of water and every seed of wheat in the world-famous vodka comes from here. Our last stop is hip Malmö, a city emerging from its industrial past as a bohemian and artistic hotspot.

Trip highlights

WILD NATURE

After a lakeside hike, experience lunch in the wild inspired by the four elements of this lush region: apple, stone, water, and forest, and a menu featuring fire-cooked, foraged ingredients and accompanied by local lore

HOMEGROWN PHILOSOPHY

Come together over a celebratory, vodka-paired dinner at Absolut Home. Here, the kitchen of Chef Fredrik Wallgren gathers inspiration from the Scandinavian heritage of food culture and brings it to life in contemporary interpretations

GRAND MALMÖ

Malmö has a legendary party scene and we’ll paint the town red, bar hopping to places like Grand Malmö, famous for generous and unusual cocktails using classic Nordic ingredients served with a hearty slice of cool musical vibes

Venue

Accommodations are hand-selected for each and every trip from a portfolio of rigorously-vetted hotels. Our Trip Design team prioritizes location, comfort, and design to ensure your stay is a winning mix, every time. In Southern Sweden, we often stay in hotels such as Åhus Gästgivaregård and Elite Hotel Esplanade.

ÅHUS, 2 NIGHTS

Åhus Gästgivaregård or “Gästis” as locals know it, is situated in an 18th century building, overlooking a characteristic waterway that leads to the Baltic Sea. Rooms here are bright and comfortable, and there is a lively evening scene perfect for a last tipple of whatever you fancy.

MALMÖ, 1 NIGHT

Elite Hotel Esplanade is located in an ideal position for exploring historic Malmö, quiet enough to get a great night’s sleep but steps away from historic Lilla Torg square and the best nightlife, restaurant, and shopping areas of the city.
