Enjoy the mystic Lake Saimaa during our guided wild food experience whilst tasting the best food the region has to offer. Our charming fishing boat Juno will sail us to our island destination where the tables are set and a delicious 4 course dinner served out in the wild on the lakeside cliffs.

Before dinner you will have the chance to admire the beautiful views and explore the island if you wish. You may even spot the rare Saimaa Ringed Seal if you are lucky!

The dinner is prepared on open fire by our residential chef, using the best seasonal ingredients from the surrounding nature. We grow most of the ingredients ourselves and pick mushrooms, berries and herbs in the local forests. The fish is caught nearby in a seal-friendly way and the rest of the ingredients come from local producers. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and food made from local and homegrown ingredients is our passion.

Duration of the experience is c. 4 hrs and optimal size of the group 4 -12 people. The dinner is served under a canopy and there is a lavatory on site. If the weather conditions do not allow the boat ride, the dinner is served in our log cabin. Dinner includes non-alcoholic drinks, we can give wine suggestions if wanted.

Experience is available from June to August. By request also in May and autumn.
