Rye Road - Travel around Latvia and explore the rye grain’s journey from field to fork!

This brochure introduces the benefits of rye and both traditional and modern dishes offered by bakers, farmsteads and pubs in Latvia. In order to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy both ancient and modern flavours, six diligent hosts have teamed up to create the Rye Road initiative. This culinary tourism offer is directed at anyone who appreciates natural and healthy food, who cares about the energy, nutritional value and origin of food, who is eager to explore the culinary traditions for using rye and who is excited to learn something new. The creators of the Rye Road initiative not only bake their own rye bread and prepare delicious dishes from rye, but also honour the ancient traditions and introduce others to them, thus bringing these traditions into modern life.

There is a map an appendix to the Rye Road brochure.  The map of the Rye Road is intended for planning visits and trips. This map shows the 52 members of the Rye Route who are open to visitors: farms, home producers, guest houses, small bakeries and bakery shops, country cafés, restaurants, and pubs, where you can learn the stories of making bread, taste and purchase rye bread and other rye grain products, as well as learn to bake them yourself.

On this map, you will find a short description of each of the Rye Road participants and their tourism offer, whether it’s a special food or drink made out of rye, their produce, tastings, or workshops and master classes for visitors. For every participant, you will also find their contact information.
