Traditional Finnish Soup Workshop by the Forest (VIP)
Overview
Escape the city and experience Finnish tradition by learning to cook authentic salmon soup inside a traditional wooden hut in the middle of the forest. This hands-on experience combines Finnish culinary heritage with the cozy atmosphere of a log cabin, offering a perfect blend of food, culture, and nature.
Unlike outdoor cooking experiences, the hut provides shelter from wind, rain, and cold, ensuring comfort in any season. As the fire crackles, you will prepare a traditional creamy salmon soup using fresh local ingredients, guided by a host. The meal is served with rye bread and butter, just as it is enjoyed in Finnish homes.
While the soup simmers, relax with a cup of warm glögi ot blueberry juice taking in the peaceful surroundings of the Finnish wilderness. This intimate experience is ideal for travelers looking for something beyond the usual tourist activities—a moment to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy authentic Finnish hospitality.
