Latvian Cider Route and Baltic Cider brands join the world stage at SISGA in Asturias, Spain
30.09.2025
Latvian Cider Route and Baltic Cider were proud to be ambassadors for our region at the International Hall of Gala Ciders (SISGA), celebrating its 15th edition in Asturias, Spain, on the last weekend of September.
This region is worldfamous for its cider traditions, and in 2023 UNESCO recognised Asturian cider culture as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This recognition goes beyond the drink itself, celebrating everything from cultivating cider apples to the ritual of pouring (escanciar) and the central role cider plays in Asturian social life.
On 25 September, Asnate Ziemele (Latvian Cider Route and Baltic Cider, Latvia) took part in a roundtable on Tourism Linked to Cider and Apples, alongside experts from Portugal and the Cider Cities network. >>> Presentation (Asnate Ziemele)

Pepiņš by Abuls Cidery was awarded first place in the Premium category, while Kerr and the rosé Sārtvaidzis (“Rosy Cheeks”) each received silver medals in their respective groups.
