A culinary journey through the coastal villages of Vidzeme

We will start the tasting with a great morning coffee at a family coffee roastery, where you will learn how coffee beans are grown, harvested, and processed to reach the roastery. You will learn about the roasting process and taste coffees from different regions and roasts.

Further on, the tasting path will take you to a coastal village, where fishermen caught lampreys in the Gauja River as early as the 17th century. The lamprey characteristic of the Vidzeme coast is Lampera fluviatilis. We will visit an old fishing farm that has been processing lampreys for generations.

After a walk through the pine silos of the Vidzeme coast and the Baltic Sea beach, we will go on a taste adventure to a tasting lunch and a fish cooking master class with a chef who is known for his aromatic fish soups, smoked fish, fried and grilled fish, and exquisite fish snacks. The high-quality fish production has also been appreciated by the President of Latvia.

An excursion to the craftsmen of the Vidzeme coast, who are an important part of culture and local identity, keep ancient skills alive and create new, modern works based on coastal traditions.

Check-in at the hotel, dinner (not included in the price), sunset over the Baltic Sea (if weather conditions are suitable)

Tea and jam tasting at an organic farm that grows organic vegetables, berries, fruits, and teas. Homemade preserves, juices, syrups, and jams are made according to traditional and new recipes. You will taste the farm's ECO products, which won the Silver Award in the "Regional Flavors" competition in 2020. Here you will also have the opportunity to see a retro car-moto collection, and ancient, ethnographic items in a century-old barn.

Afterwards, you will enjoy an invigorating seaside walk and a visit to the Salacgrīva Regional Museum with a story about Salacgrīva, fishing and fishermen on the North Vidzeme coast, about ancient lamprey fishing with fishing nets, and about the history of parishes.

A story about Latvian bread, natural ingredients, love and the joy of baking what others like! There will be an opportunity to purchase different types of rye bread, cakes and cookies, and a variety of pastries.

Lunch with steak tasting in a restaurant with the ancient breath of history, where classic values ​​​​intertwine with modern elements in a single flow of time. The steak restaurant is a family business that raises beef cattle and ensures a full, closed cycle - from field to table.

A visit to another artisan farm. On the Vidzeme coast, you can meet both traditional and modern craftsmen - woodcarvers, ceramists, textile artists, jewelers, makers of linen and wool products, as well as preservers of maritime heritage who create ropes, nets or decorative objects in a maritime style.

On the way home, we invite you to a tasting of various home-made berry wines. Not only aromatic berry wines are made here, but also apple and blackcurrant distillates, infusions that have absorbed the scent and richness of flavors of Vidzeme's summer meadows.
