Julbord på Wiks slott

Enjoy the Christmas table at Wik Castle for a few hours. We suggest you try the Christmas table classic tours and enjoy the delicacies in a special order:

Mulled wine and raisins

Warm mulled wine with almonds and raisins is served with gingerbread and noble cheese in the castle's lounge. A nice start to the meal that allows calm to settle in and we prepare for a good meal.

Herring table, first round

All the tasty herring fillings have been made with care. Wik's 2024 herring is flavored with apple, star anise, cinnamon and Szechuan pepper. Enjoy all herrings with potatoes, crispbread, cheese and butter. The vegan option includes Matjes portabello, Brantevik eggplant and marinated mushrooms. We recommend drinking Mellerud's Prima Christmas beer and schnapps with it. We have all the Swedish classics for this round of the Christmas table.

Cold and smoked fish, second round

The next serving of the Christmas table continues with cold and hot smoked and gravlax. Here you will also find seafood terrine with trout roe, hunter's smoked mackerel and Wik's mess with crayfish tails flavored with dill egg and chives. The vegan dishes on the Christmas table include roasted and oven-baked parsnips in mustard sauce, beetroot with currants and mint, and engraved carrot with tarragon and dill. We recommend 2022 875M, Chardonnay, Rioja, Spain (for heavier fish, such as smoked salmon) and 2022 Even & Odd Riesling, Rheingau, Germany (for lighter fish, such as seafood stir-fry).

Cold-cut meats, third round

As a side dish, we serve pickled vegetables from our own farms, mixed salads and carefully handled chanterelles. The Christmas ham is the crowning glory, our own mustard flavored with apple. Vegan delicacies on the table are baked celeriac with mustard and tarragon vinaigrette, Waldorf salad and green and black cabbage salad. For this round, we recommend drinking 2023 Secret de Lunes Pinot Noir, Languedoc-Rousillon, France (Organic)
