Malaga wine cellar

 

The Malaga cellar is an earth cellar that was used for storing wine and spirits from the 18th century. It is the oldest wine cellar of its kind in northern Norway, built of 1.50 meters thick so-called "Ålesund walls". Sandtorgholmen was the first in the southern county to receive a guest permit for the sale and distribution of wine and spirits, already in the year 1770, and from our wine cellar wine was delivered to 7 parishes. They also had their own bakery here, so the altar bread was also delivered to the same parishes.

 

We have decorated it as a wine bar with 30 seats as described above. This is used for wine tasting, aperitifs before food and coffee avec after food. A very special and exotic atmosphere when you sit with only candles and enjoy the drink with classical music in the background.
