Vínstofa Friðheima, is a new-ish addition to the popular Friðheimar Tomato Farm, located in the Golden Circle area here in Iceland. You might already know Friðheimar? It’s the place with the greenhouse restaurant where you enjoy your delicious tomato based meal surrounded by tomato plants 🍅
I already loved Friðheimar Tomato Farm but I honestly think they outdid themselves with this new addition. Vínstofa Friðheima is a wine bar and a bistro which they opened last summer. And oh my god! What a gorgeous place 🤩
The pictures don’t really do the place justice but believe me when I say it’s a must stop on the Golden Circle. You can just drop in and have a light meal, a cup of coffee or a glass of wine (given you’re not the designated driver!). Then just sit there and enjoy your refreshments in the wonderful environment.
I’m telling you, the cheesecake I ordered tasted even better due to the stunning surroundings. It’s an incredibly charming place they have built in one of their oldest greenhouses and I can’t wait to go back 😊
Other extra stops on the Golden Circle worth checking out
Besides Friðheimar, there are plenty of other places worthy of your attention in the Golden Cirle area. Here are few good examples:
- Brúarfoss Falls – a beautiful waterfall with stunningly blue water
- Fontana Geothermal Bath and Bakery – I especially recommend the geothermal bakery tour where they bake traditional Icelandic rye bread in the boiling ground.
- Secret Lagoon – one of, if not the oldest, swimming pool in Iceland.
- Faxi Waterfall – located right by the road on your way from Friðheimar to Geysir Geothermal Area.
- Kerið – an old and colorful volcanic crater with a lake in the bottom.
