Pavāru māja

Pavāru māja has been awarded the Michelin Green Star 2025. It was also crowned with “A Special Award for excellent small regional wine list” at the Baltic Wine & Drinks Awards 2024.

Pavāru Māja is a gastronomic treasure in the heart of Vidzeme, in picturesque Līgatne. Here, nature and taste come together in a modern nose-to-tail approach to fine dining, where local farmers’ products are transformed into culinary art. The Chef’s House was created by one of Latvia’s brightest chefs, Ēriks Dreibants, and it is a place that proves that Latvian cuisine can be both sophisticated and deeply rooted in its land.

The wine experience is carefully crafted by sommelier Juris Semjonovs. Rather than focusing on clichéd big names, the list celebrates authenticity, creativity, and sustainable winemaking. From passionate producers across Europe – Greece, Sicily, and Brunello di Montalcino – every bottle tells a story. Complementing this global selection is a rich array of Latvian wines, including non-grape varieties, which perfectly align with the Pavāru Māja philosophy and make each visit even more memorable.

Pavāru Māja recommends: Verdelho o Original by António Maçanita, Açores 2018.

Our choice: If there’s one wine that would complement the personality of Pavāru Māja – it’s Raventós i Blanc Rosé de Nit 2021! Sparkling, lively, energetic, sustainable, different, rebellious and low-key at the same time, great value for money... and also possibly one of the best sparklers outside of Champagne? Just go for it!
