Riežupe Caves
Riežupe Sand Caves have a 2-kilometer-long underground labyrinth created by human hands. Visitors can see the maze 460 meters long.
It is said that caves have a strange power, but their sand is used for medicinal purposes. Currently, it is the longest cave system in Latvia, located about 5 kilometers from Baltic Rancho estate.
The air temperature in the caves is constant all year round: + 8 °C.
There is a tradition for newlyweds to bring flowers down into the caves because they can survive without water for months and this gives newlyweds special power for a long marriage.

Ostrich Farm
The biggest ostrich farm in Latvia “Nornieki”, located near Kuldīga, provides the opportunity to purchase healthy and valuable ostrich meat products and go on an excursion in the ostrich and goat farm.
This farm displays both large and small birds, the process of incubation of ostrich eggs, and goats. The Restaurant Ar Putniem (with birds) is located on this farm. “Nornieki” produces and delivers fresh meat to the best restaurants and individual customers in Latvia.
The farm also hosts tourists and offers creative workshops. Ostrich meat and ostrich eggs can be enjoyed daily at the restaurant.In summer you can enjoy all the goods on an outdoor terrace with a view. Catering services are available.
Northern Wine
Abava Winery, whose origins can be traced back to Sabile, was once created as a romantic family business, but over the years with the merging of three families - Barkan, Gadzhi and Krasovsky, it has become a strong and growing brand that brings values such as connection, craftsmanship and courage to mark Latvia on the world wine map.
There are only a few hundred vineyards in the world planted at northern latitudes, and one of these unique gardens is the ABAVAS vineyard near Sabile. Planted in 2010 above the 57th parallel, it has been producing for several years and has given winemakers the opportunity to demonstrate their professional abilities by creating high-quality and wine-recognised wines.
The vineyard features special northern grape varieties, as well as hybrid varieties developed in Europe. The best known are Solaris, Muskaris, Rondo.
As the climatic weather conditions in the Nordic countries are atypical for such a well-known and widespread crop as grapes, each harvest from the carefully tended and cherished vineyard is highly anticipated. Therefore, each batch of wine coming from the ABAVAS vineyard is considered a very special and unique event. AS wants to put Latvia on the world wine map and we believe that the wines they create are competitive with other wines from the world wine region.
