At the end of October, Hanzas Perons will open its doors to products grown and prepared by small producers from four Latvian regions — an experience that everyone in Riga, as well as visitors to the city, is invited to enjoy!
Everyone will have the opportunity to meet the farmers and taste or purchase their products from all regions of Latvia — Kurzeme, Vidzeme, Zemgale, and Latgale. Expect smoked African catfish and black garlic, cheeses and ice cream made from goat, sheep, and cow milk, delicious – sweet and sour bread, homemade meat products, winter vegetable and fruit preserves, sparkling and fortifying drinks, sweets, and much more. The event will host masterclasses and tastings as well as an Apple-peeling contest.
