Nestled in the middle of the agricultural village of Lier, lies Egge Gård, facing south with a view over the entire valley.
Egge Gård has 20,000 apple trees which normally produce 100 tons of apples each autumn. The farm is run by Marius Egge, who is the 11th generation in the family. Marius is passionate about both food and drink, and he saw great potential in the beautiful, sour Norwegian fruit early on. And from this origin, a multitude of tasty beverages and other products have unfolded.
We are so grateful to our host, Helge Steingrim, for lending us this magical space for the afternoon so that we can share its beauty with you.
Our partner chef will use the outdoors to cook up our meal, with a menu that is rooted in sustainably sourced, local and seasonal ingredients. Paired with local produce from the valley, such as meat from the nearby farm that raises Herford Beef, we will also be tasting the wide array of beverages that is produced at Egge Farm. We will taste everything from their famous apple cider, to a not-so-known single malt whiskey and their sparkling wine made on the Champagne-method. We will also get a tour of the factory and get to know more about the traditions behind the production and the history of one of Norways most known cider makers.
To make this evening even more magical, we have invited the most talented, young musicians from DUX Foss Music Management that are playing for us in the field. We will get a surprise as they play soothing jazz vibes while we enjoy our stay together in a buzzing orchard as the sun sets.
The menu is TBD, but will be forwarded to our guest prior to the event. We cannot wait to see what our chef comes up with when he uses Egges tasty apples as the base for creating this evenings menu.
The feast will be served family style, true to the love of our concept for sharing and creating great conversations.
We will be helpful in setting up transportation if needed. Please contact us with this inquiry.
