The Story of Cider and Travel Map - "Cider Route"

The Cider Route will take you to various Latvian cideries, as well as restaurants and pubs that serve cider to their guests. Cider is produced in the North, East and West of Latvia. The Cider Route will give you an insight into the specifics of Latvian cider and introduce you to the culinary traditions and cultural heritage of different regions. You will have the opportunity to meet cider makers who run small businesses and take care of their orchards. They will not only tell you about their work but also allow you to join in! The initiative for the creation of the Cider Route in Latvia was developed by “Lauku ceļotājs, the Latvian Rural Tourism Association, and by the enthusiastic cider makers – Abavas Family Winery, Abuls Cidery, Mr. Plūme Cidery, Naukšēnu Winery, Tālavas Cider, and Turkalnes Manor, all of which have come together in a joint project to create and promote cider as a new tourism product of national identity.
