Ainoa Winery
Ainoa Winery's wines combine the pure berry aromas of Finnish nature with southern European winemaking expertise. Located in Hollola, just ten kilometers from the center of Lahti, this berry wine estate produces high-quality wines from Finnish forest products.
The raw ingredients for the wines include blueberries, cloudberries, lingonberries, meadowsweet, and spruce sprouts. The berries are fermented whole and pressed into juice only after fermentation, which brings depth, structure, and tannins typical of grape wines to the wines.
Ainoa Winery utilizes the best raw ingredients from northern nature in its wines: berries come from Lapland, and the sweetness of dessert wines comes from local producers' honey. Sustainable thinking is also reflected in the utilization of production side streams – for example, the pomace left over from the production of Valokki cloudberry wine continues its life in the Hilla beer produced in cooperation with United Gypsies Brewery.
Winery founders David and Paola Cohen moved to Finland in 2008 and wanted to continue their winemaking hobby in their new home country. They soon realized that there was no need to look far for perfect flavors: Finland's pristine nature offers unique raw ingredients for making high-quality berry wines.
