Latvia · WINE TOURS
Good wine tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet by St. Peter’s Church for a private two-hour tasting in a medieval Riga dungeon. Local monks introduce Latvian wine, production methods, legends, tasting basics, and surprising pairings. The tour is for your group only and returns to the starting point.
Travel privately from Riga to Kuldiga with an English-speaking guide and hotel pickup. Walk across Venta Waterfall, explore Kuldiga’s medieval streets and old bridge, then taste wine in Sabile, home to Europe’s northernmost vineyard. Driver Vadim has earned special praise for smooth service and excellent photos.
“Thank you so much for the amazing excursion and such an enjoyable time! You truly made our day unforgettable. Special thanks for your professionalism and how you handled everything so smoothly. Top-class service! 👌 P.S. The photos are fantastic too!”
Leave Riga by minivan for Sigulda’s castles, Gauja Bridge, Gutman’s Cave, and Turaida Castle. Add a candlelit wine tasting in a sandstone cave for 15 EUR, or walk through Ligatne with your guide. English-speaking guide Mara leads private and small-group outings.
“We ended up getting a private tour with Mara, as no one else booked, and she was a fantastic guide! She shared about her life in Latvia, showed us some must-see stops, and entertained us with some local stories. The place we stopped to get pastries for lunch was so cute and the sweet and savory pastries were delicious. She also shared two amazing recommendations for dinner and rooftop drinks in Riga after she dropped us back off! It was a great first day in Latvia and made our experience walking around old town the next day even more valuable with the little tidbits she had shared.”
Pick a street, a castle or a boardwalk.
