The manor in Advent

A real Swedish Christmas

Thoresta Herrgård in Advent is something quite special. Candles burn, the cold bites outside and indoors it smells of cinnamon and spruce. It is a setting that turns the Christmas buffet into something more than just a meal.

We take care of everything — you take care of each other.
