Vrinners: Wine, Art and Village History

Vrinners offers several distinct ways to shape your stay: winegrowing and tasting, crafts, a Romanesque church, a burial mound, and activities with specific route distances. If you are looking for a hotel in Vrinners, consider which of these topics interest you most during your trip. This can help you connect your choice of location with the plans that matter to you during your stay.

Wine, Crafts and Art

At Andersen Winery, grapes grow in the vineyards around the winery, and visitors can sample sparkling wines there. Visits without a booking are possible. As operating arrangements may change, check the latest visitor information before you arrive. The address is Vrinners Bygade 45, 8420 Knebel. The grape growing around the winery and sparkling wine tasting bring production and the visitor experience together at one named destination.

For 2024, Molsbjerge A-Art listed courses and workshops in yarn dyeing, willow weaving, knitting, felting, decoupage and goldsmithing techniques. Check which courses are currently offered before your trip. The range spans textile work, weaving techniques and jewellery making, so you can look for a suitable focus if you have a particular interest.

A 2024 presentation by Syddjurs Municipality states that August Art in Vrinners had more than 30 affiliated artists and covered an area of 530 m². It lists workshops and exhibitions, as well as opportunities to buy art, clothing and decorative items. The number of artists and the area may change. Before visiting, also check the current programme, access arrangements and range of goods.

Church and Burial Mound

Vrinners Church was consecrated on 8 September 1907 and was built in the Romanesque style. Repeated round arches are a distinctive feature of its design. The church thus brings together a precise historical date and a recurring architectural detail.

Another aspect of the village’s history is the Rundhøj near Vrinners. It is a burial mound measuring 17 × 18 × 3 metres and is visible from a public road. Compared with the church, the focus here is on its classification as a burial mound and its dimensions, while the church is notable for its consecration date and architectural style.

Cycle Path and Activities in the Village

For cyclists, a two-lane cycle path, open to travel in both directions, connects Vrinners with Egens Havhuse. It provides a specific reference point for planning a bike ride and is designed for travel in either direction.

The interactive activity “Vrinners viser vej” is set up for the 2025–2026 version as a 2.6 km route through the village. Participants collect stamps at selected businesses and locations in Vrinners; the stops may change. The activity is available seasonally, so check before your trip whether it will be running during your stay. In addition to the route length, the stamp-collecting task is part of the format.

The private Vrinners Hoved walking trail is 4 km long. By comparison, the village activity is shorter, at 2.6 km; these distances can help you compare the two different formats by route length. As Vrinners Hoved is private, check access arrangements before planning a walk.
