TĀLAVA Cider  creates 100% natural apple ciders and expands the boundaries of traditional beverage categories and flavor perceptions.

History
It all started back in 2013, when our founder - a true Gulbene local (from the historic land once called Tālava) - decided it was time to turn a dream into something real. Surrounded by orchards bursting with apples, the idea was simple, but bold - make drinks that taste like home, but feel like a discovery. Drinks that would show just how many flavors one small corner of Latvia could hold.
Like all great adventures, TĀLAVA began small - in a parent’s garage, with nothing but a 1000L tank, a stubborn streak for quality and a whole lot of heart. Every apple was chosen by hand, every batch made with care. And somehow, in that little garage, magic happened.
Today, TĀLAVA is still a family-run - only now the horizons are wider, the cans travel further and every sip still carries the same story of orchards, of tradition, of daring to create something that lasts.

Apples and fruits
The ciders are made using carefully selected apples from local farms and natural fruit juices. The cider house takes pride in cold-pressing the juice without the use of concentrates, artificial flavors, or added water. TĀLAVA ciders are complemented with natural quince, cherry, rhubarb juices, and hops.

Ciders
TĀLAVA produces sparkling ciders packaged in cans made from recycled aluminum, with labels made from an innovative blend of organic materials and recycled plastic. Alongside alcoholic ciders, a non-alcoholic cider is also produced. TĀLAVA ciders have been awarded in international competitions, including the International Cider Challenge, Japan Cider Cup 2023, Cider World Award, and SISGA Asturias. TĀLAVA ciders are suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets.

For visitors
TĀLAVA welcomes both individual visitors and groups to tour the cider house, share the story of the art of cider-making, and enjoy TĀLAVA ciders together with snacks that highlight the drink’s flavors.

Where to buy
TĀLAVA cider can be purchased in major retail chains, specialty stores, at the cider house, and in the online store talava.lv.
