Food and drink activities in Norrköping

Norrköping is a city where industrial history meets modern culinary experiences, and there is much to discover for those who are passionate about gastronomy and enjoying beverages. Here are a few highlights you won't want to miss:

1. Beer lover? Go on brewery tours & beer tastings.

For those who want to combine knowledge with taste, a brewery tour with accompanying beer tasting is an excellent choice. There are two breweries in central Norrköping that both offer beer tastings:

• Fenix Brewery – craft brewery in the heart of Norrköping. Fenix is a state-of-the-art brewery that boasts both classic and creative craft beers. Guided tours are available, allowing you to go behind the scenes and see the brewing process up close – before it's time to taste different types of beer.
• Knäppingen Bryggeri & Spiseri – food, beer and inspiration in one. Knäppingen is a combined brewery and restaurant. Here you can book inspiring beer tastings and tours, and of course taste the brewery's own beers in the cosy restaurant. An excellent choice for those who want to combine food and drink in a relaxed, local style.

For those who don't want to go on a beer tasting tour, there are several restaurants and bars that offer a wide range of beers, such as Ölsutgan Gull Olle, Bar Kassett, The Bishop Arms and Ölstugan Tullen.

2. Moveat – a varied food tour

Moveat is an app-based food experience where you and your companions can explore Norrköping's food and drink offerings over 5-6 hours. As a guest, you visit selected tasting stops, and at each stop you are served a carefully selected tasting portion of food, ranging from fine dining to street food. Moveat is the perfect activity if you want to sample the breadth of the city's culinary offerings in a social and relaxed way.

3. Wine and beverage tastings at Durkslaget

Durkslaget has over 10 years of experience in beverage tastings and has long been a pioneer in Norrköping when it comes to sommelier-led events. Wine tastings are held here with themes such as Champagne, ‘Cheese & Wine’ and regional sessions from different wine regions.
