Līgatne Winery is a family business that produces special ciders in the Gauja National Park.

Our Story
Līgatne Winery is a family business established in 2010 with the aim of producing high-quality, delicious homemade wine from berries and fruits grown in Latvia. For several years now, the company has also been producing cider.

Apples
The family’s orchard is located in Gauja National Park, where they use autumn and winter apple varieties to create sweet apple ice cider and semi-sweet quince cider. The newer cider apple trees, known for their red flesh, yield a juice that gives the cider a pink hue.

Ciders
They produce sweet apple ice cider and semi-sweet quince cider.

For Visitors
