Pubs, restaurants and shops

Cider complements food exceptionally well. The great variety of ciders, together with their natural acidity, make them a suitable accompaniment for almost any dish.

Latvian ciders particularly complement local products and dishes, such as grey peas with bacon and onions, pickled herring, pork stew, cabbage, pearl barley and chanterelle sauce. But they also match the delicacies of other cultures well – this light drink will go perfectly with oriental cuisine, for instance. Cider is also a great companion for cheese. The natural acidity of cider makes it perfect for enjoying together with fresh vegetables and salads in the warm summer season. It works just as well in stews and sauces.

Sparkling cider is increasingly often served as an aperitif at social events, replacing the imported Prosecco, Cava or even champagne. Cider can also be used in cocktails, while sweet cider is perfect for desserts.

In this section you will find pubs, restaurants, cafes etc. places that serve Latvian apple cider. You will also find small shops where you can taste and buy cider.

JAUNMOKU PILS

The Jaunmoku palace is just 75 km from Rīga in a quiet and hilly Kurzeme landscape. The palace was built in 1901 after a design by Wilhelm Bockslaff, and it was the hunting castle of Rīga Mayor George Armitstead at first.  The greatest and most tempting treasure in the castle are the pot-bellied stoves, the most valuable and ornate one having been manufactured in honour of the 700th anniversary of the city of Rīga.  Today the castle welcomes visitors both old and young who wish to relax from everyday stresses by strolling around the castle park, visiting the forest museum, and making a personal Latvian design in the Sign Centre.  Newlyweds just adore this location, because the pergola of the park features birdsong and a fountain which are perfect for joining together two hearts and saying “I do.”  Romantic leisure will also be enjoyed by those who dine in the castle’s White Salon, take a picnic on the seashore, or spend the night in the castle’s elegant rooms.  We offer horse-drawn cart rides through the castle park and its historical linden alley. You can taste teas and rose jams.  We have rooms for seminars and celebrations, delicious meals in our restaurant, and accommodations in a three-star hotel.  This is a time where time, nature and music all flow together.

Serves Jaunmoku cider.
