The family company Poļu nams was established more than 20 years ago, and it produces sweets that were popular during the Soviet era -- the Sweet Brunette chocolate sausage, as well as cookies filled with condensed milk that are known as Sweet Pearl or little nuts.  The owners started the work at their flat in Rīga, but now the manufacturing facilities are in a building which used to be a culture centre.  The products are still made by hand. 

Gunita has run the company from its origins and greets guests who wish to tour the manufacturing plant.  That will be of interest both to adults and to children.  Gunita designed her own house and initiates reanimation with the idea of dealing with the big building.  Step by step she is putting together a club, Lāde (Chest), to focus on esoteric issues, education and leisure.  Gatis supports Gunita in her efforts by handling all of the reconstruction and construction work. 

During tours, guests will visit the manufacturing facility, learning about the building and its history.  They will be able to taste the sweets and then have lunch with the owners.  A master class in preparing sweets can be arranged in advance and depending on the workload of the company.  People can learn how to prepare the Sweet Brunette or the little nuts.

THE PROGRAMME:

  • A tour of the manufacturing facility to learn about it;
  • A master class in preparing sweets;
  • Tasting of sweets and a coffee break;
  • A visit to the "Lāde" club to learn about Soviet-era film equipment and to take pictures;
  • Lunch with the owners.
