Þorrablót
It’s an old Icelandic tradition to hold a Þorrablót feast some time between mid-January and mid-February with plenty of singing, dancing and fun.  Here, unique Icelandic delicacies are served that harken back to a time long before refrigerators and fast food. A traditional Þorrablót menu can be arranged for groups, and our barn is an ideal setting for a Þorrablót of your own.
