The Experience

You don't expect a wine tour to open with a slasher-themed bar, but that's where this one starts. Solvang's Wine & True Crime Tour isn't trying to teach you about tannins or terroir — it's a two-hour blend of three generous pours and stories dark enough to make you grip your glass a little tighter. Your guide walks you through the Danish village's creepiest corners, past the historic windmill and the motorcycle collection, weaving in tales of 70s serial killers and unsolved mysteries while you taste local wines at spots most visitors never find.

The stops themselves are the draw. You'll start at a slasher-themed winery for a wine flight, then move to an offbeat wine bar for a wine-based tiki cocktail — no rum, just bold flavors — and finish at a high-energy karaoke bar with a sparkling wine toast. The guide knows both the wine and the stories, and the small group size means you're not shuffling through crowds or waiting for someone's phone to charge. It's the kind of night where you're half-listening to local lore and half-wondering what the person next to you is thinking about the haunted mortuary.

The whole thing moves at a pace that doesn't feel rushed. You walk through Solvang's historic core — past the Danish clog outside the shoe store, the outdoor theater modeled on a Shakespearean stage — and the guide fills the gaps with the kind of stories that stick with you. It's not a lecture. It's more like someone who knows the town's weird side decided to take you on a night out and happened to have a lot of unsettling facts to share.

What’s included

Your two hours include a knowledgeable guide who shares wine and true crime stories, three tastings (a wine flight, a wine-based tiki cocktail, and a sparkling wine toast), and a walking route through Solvang's historic sites and quirky bars. You don't arrange your own transport between the three stops or decide what to order — those are handled.
