Zilver Beverages
Zilver beverages come from the Zilver family country house in Sigulda.
Our Story
Initially, the cider makers produced cider for their own needs, using the harvest from their apple orchard. The family business’s main products are fruit and berry wines. Cider became a favourite drink of the Zilver family, especially in the summer. Its taste and quality were also appreciated by family friends and clients, which led the family to expand cider production.
Apples
The farm’s apple orchard has around 80 different apple varieties, some of which are specifically selected for cider-making.
Ciders
Zilver produces Quince Semi-Sweet Cider and Wild Apple Cider.
For Visitors
Guests are offered a tour of the production facility, as well as cider and wine tastings with snacks. During the summer season, visitors can observe the "captured apples" – apples grown directly in bottles and later infused with apple brandy.
The “Zilver” drinks producer in Sigulda Municipality welcomes guests all year round by advance booking. It can be visited either independently or on a tour led in Latvian, English or Russian by the owners themselves. Organised groups are also welcomed. During the visit, which lasts about two hours, guests get to know the production facility and the orchard, and at the end there is a tasting of drinks with snacks. The producer makes berry, fruit and flower wines, as well as the historic liqueur “Allažu ķimelis”, which was revived in 2018. In summer, you can hang your own bottle in the orchard, in which an “Ābols gūsteknis” (“Captive Apple”) grows. The producer also offers team-building activities and off-site tastings. Its wines were recognised as the best fruit and berry wines at the “Baltic Cup” competition in 2024 and 2025. The products can be purchased in the largest specialised alcohol shops throughout Latvia.
Where to Buy
Zilver ciders can be purchased by visiting the drink production facility.
