- “Riekstiņi” is a farm 6 km away from Nereta at which the outstanding Latvian writer and painter Jānis Jaunsudrabiņš (1877-1962) spent six years of his childhood. The people of the farm became prototypes for characters in his “White Book”, in which he called this farm “Mūsmājas.” A museum was opened at Riekstiņi in 1967, and it is in an authentic single-family Selonian farm with a specific spirit and scent.

This garden is one of the largest and has the most variety of grapes in Latvia within the North-Atlantic area.
