Overview

Sample Menu

Starter

Traditional Finnish Pickles

A selection of seasonal delicacies. You will taste picked cucumbers with honey, and rye bread with pickled herring (the ultimate Finnish test!).

Main

Option 1 - Sautéed Reindeer, Potato Mash and Lingonberries

We’ll make this iconic dish together by sautéing the reindeer and preparing the mash and lingonberries. Not to worry, this is not Santa's Rudolf!

Main

Option 2 - Smoked Salmon, Potato Mash and Dill Sauce

You will help us smoke the fresh salmon right here at the home. We’ll serve it with a cold lemon-and-dill sauce, potato mash, and rye bread.

Main

Option 3 - 'Meatless Meatballs', Potato Mash and Onion

A plant-based take on our childhood favorite. These pea-protein meatballs are served with mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and plenty of mustard.

Dessert

Ice Cream, Finnish Berries and Treats

We finish with selection of ice cream topped with Finnish berries. And you'll get to taste some of the treats - like the salty liquorice, if you dare!

Fantastic

Araksya_H, Jun 2026

Very Interesting cultural informative tour. Hosts are very polite hospitable kind warm couple. The food was fantastic they try to do their best for guests . Every detail was taken into account. The car ride and the greetings was fantastic . The nature and lake was wonderful. Everything was very nice. and clean. The tour is underpriced for the emotions that we had gotten. Sauna and lake swimming was healthy and fresh.
