Tālava Cidery creates 100% natural apple ciders, expanding traditional drink categories and challenging flavour stereotypes. 

Our Story  
The cidery's name is a reference to the 12th-13th century Latgallian land of Tālava, which encompassed the present-day areas of Northern Latgale and Northern Vidzeme, where the cidery is located. In 2013, the owner decided to establish this cidery to produce authentic and high-quality beverages from apples grown in local orchards. Today, Tālava is a dynamic family business that blends tradition with innovation.

Apples  
Ciders are made from apples, with flavours enhanced by quinces, rhubarb, cherries, hops, and other additional ingredients. Tālava also produces non-alcoholic cider.

Ciders
Almost all of Tālava’s drinks are suitable for vegans and gluten-free diets. The ciders are bottled and canned; the cans are made from recycled aluminium, and the labels are created from an innovative blend of organic materials and recycled plastics. Tālava''s ciders have won awards at international competitions, including the International Cider Challenge, Japan Cider Cup 2023, Cider World Award, and SISGA Asturias.

For Visitors  
Tālava invites both individual visitors and groups to tour the cider production facility, where they can learn about the art of cider-making and enjoy Tālava's ciders paired with snacks that highlight the cider’s flavour.

Where to Buy  
Tālava's ciders are available in major retail chains, specialised shops, the production facility, and in the Tālava online shop at talava.lv.
