The Taste Trail of Zemgale

Tour Programme


Lauku miers, dzīvie amati un garšas, kas paliek atmiņā. Tā ir diena, kurā tu ne tikai redzēsi – tu darīsi, sajutīsi un piedzīvosi.

🐑 Kur siers satiek sirsnību – rīts lauku sētā
Dienu sāksim vietā, kur smaržo siers, tvaiko zāļu tēja un kazas soļo starp ābelēm. Mūs sagaidīs silts, ar mīlestību klāts brokastu galds – kazas siers, ievārījumi, maize un sirsnība, ko iespējams piedzīvot tikai laukos.

🥖 No miltiem līdz maizes garozai – dzirnavu pieredze
Šeit laiks rit kopā ar dzirnakmeņiem. Piedalīsimies rudzu maizes cepšanas meistarklasē – mīcīsim, veidosim un cepsim paši savu kukulīti. Pēc tam – ekskursija pa dzirnavu pagalmu, senajiem rīkiem un lauku stāstiem. Dienas vidū – sirsnīgas lauku pusdienas ar vienkāršu, bet patiesu garšu.

🔨 Kur dzimst spēks – ciemos pie kalēja
Uguns un dzelzs satiekas vietā, kur amats dzīvo vēl šodien. Viesosimies pie kalēja, vērosim dzīvu kalšanas demonstrāciju un, ja vēlēsimies, paši izkalsim savu simbolu. Tā būs īsta sastapšanās ar amata dvēseli.

🍏 Dienas noslēgums – sidra stāsti lauku mierā
Noslēgumā – sidra darītava, kur katrs dzēriens dzimis no zemes, roku darba un pacietības. Baudīsim dažādu garšu sidrus – ābolu, ērkšķogu, ogu –, klausoties stāstos par dārzu, fermentāciju un vienkāršu dzīves prieku.

More About Latgale

Latgale is the greenest and most expansive region of Latvia – a land of lakes where nature and human craftsmanship breathe between hills and blooming fields of buckwheat and hemp. The Dvietes floodplain nature park, the healing spring, and the mystical Velnezers (“Devil’s Lake”) add a special spiritual energy to this land.
 
Here, faith is alive – the Aglona Basilica, pilgrimages, roadside crosses, and chapel shrines are all symbols of Roman Catholic traditions deeply woven into everyday life. Traveling through the countryside, one can still see horses and carriages – a testament to respect for ancestral heritage and the rhythm of nature.
 
In Latgale’s villages, potters welcome visitors into their workshops, where brown and black ceramics shine with traditional symbols. You’ll meet weavers and craftsmen of ancient trades, and hosts dressed in Latgalian folk costumes serve home-baked bread, smoked meats from the black sauna, buļbešņīki (barley dumplings), and fermented oat jelly. At Lake Rāzna, enjoy freshly caught fish prepared using age-old recipes, enriched with Latgalian songs and heartfelt hospitality. For dessert – asuškas (sweet curd dumplings) and creamy pearl barley pudding.
 
Latgale’s homes are adorned with brightly colored handwoven blankets, delicate embroidery, and ornate jewelry – each piece carrying ancient knowledge and craftsmanship. Wooden churches, with their warmth and simplicity, bring a soulful peace to the landscape. The statue of Māra, symbolizing faith and hope, watches over the villages and fields, inspiring both locals and visitors.
 
Latgalian, a unique dialect, can be heard throughout the region – enriching Latvia’s cultural diversity and reflecting Latgale’s deep historical roots. The songs of the Latgale Song Festival fill the air, choir voices unite in harmony, and humor flows through tales and anecdotes that reflect the joy and wit of Latgalians.
 
Latgale does not reveal itself in haste – it opens to those willing to sleep in the hay, sip herbal teas, listen to folktales, and surrender to wonder. It is a place where nature and humanity breathe as one – Latgale, our green heart.
