Many associate the name of Jaunpils with the medieval castle. But this time we are inviting you to explore the forests and gardens of the area.

Taste the Autumn on the Seashore
The municipality of Tukums has nearly 60 km of seashore which is home to many fishing villages. In three of these, landladies will be welcoming you to taste the autumn. The host of “Kausenieki” homestead in Plieņciems will once again be offering dishes of various cuisines as the family are quite the travellers.

Whereas the witty owner of the nearby fishing homestead “Dieniņas” will be welcoming you to serious and not so serious conversations while enjoying a fish dinner.
Autumn Flavour at the Ķemeri National Park
The Ķemeri National Park is one of the most charming places in Latvia where the beauty of marshlands, forests and meadows is manifested in full force. In the meadows of Antiņciems by “Dāre”, you can enjoy aromas and flavours with meadow flowers and chicory, while “Valguma pasaule” will take you on a voyage of unusual landscapes and tastes with a raft on the lake. On the bank, on the very edge of the park, in Jaunķemeri, the restaurant “Neptūns” under the pine trees will offer a fairground atmosphere with its autumn menu. Whereas in the small Latvian-Greek style garden in Smārde, the owners will create the feel of Greece both in food and ambience.
