Description
Food tasting tour shows you Lithuanian food extends much further than potato or meat dishes. You will indulge with Lithuanian snacks & beverages, which for the most part are still loved by the locals.
Embark on a culinary adventure in Vilnius, where centuries-old food traditions continue as the contemporary flavors. Let’s explore the rich tapestry of the Lithuanian menu: influenced by various nations, historical nuances and the Baltic lifestyle, our culinary delights extend much further than potato or meat dishes. You will indulge with Lithuanian nibbles & beverages, which for the most part are still loved by the locals.
Along our journey through old town Vilnius, we will visit & support small local businesses. Prepare to be teleported to Lithuanian grandma's pantry and learn why Lithuanians are in love with rye bread and how we transform it into various shapes and textures. Although we will continue the journey through the cozy streets of Vilnius, the tastings will bring you as far as the shores of the Baltic Sea by the help of tender marinated herring filet two bite sandwich. After the tasty encounters with some of the essential ingredients in the contemporary Lithuanian cuisine, your culinary exploration will be complemented with traditional naturally infused spirits (for palate cleansing), with the flavors you hardly ever tried before. You will also be introduced to the importance of Jewish communities’ influence to Lithuanian cuisine. The tour will be rounded off with a savory surprise and if you wish - upon an optional order - a pint of Lithuanian beer.
Throughout the tour, there will be more tiny surprises awaiting for you, but shhh..let’s keep it a tasty secret :).*
*Bear in mind, that the tour is done in one/two bite tastings, thus the aim of the tour is to introduce you with the diverse flavors of our cuisine, so that after the tour your tummy is prepared for the heavier dinner :)
