From Riga: Drive a Soviet Rally Car & Taste Latvian Wine｜Latvia

Leave Riga behind and set off on a private full-day adventure combining adrenaline, local flavours and some of western Latvia’s most beautiful sights.

Your first major experience takes place at a real rally track near Kandava. Meet your professional instructor, receive a safety briefing and get ready to experience a classic Soviet-era rally car in action.

Start with four exciting demonstration laps alongside an experienced rally driver to get a feel for the car and the track. Then switch seats — it’s your turn to take the wheel. Drive four laps yourself with a professional instructor beside you, guiding you throughout the experience. No previous rally experience is required.

After the adrenaline of the track, continue through the Latvian countryside towards Sabile, a charming small town known for its long winemaking tradition. Enjoy a tasting of locally produced Latvian wines and discover an unexpected side of Latvia’s food and drink culture. The exact tasting format and location may vary depending on the season and availability.

The journey then continues to Kuldīga, one of Latvia’s most picturesque historic towns and part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. Stroll through its atmospheric streets, admire traditional architecture and enjoy the relaxed character of this beautifully preserved town.

Visit the famous Venta Rapid — widely known as the widest natural waterfall in Europe — and take time for photos and views of the historic brick bridge across the Venta River.

At the end of the experience, relax on the private drive back to Riga.

This tour combines three very different sides of Latvia in one memorable day: the excitement of driving a rally car, the flavours of Latvian wine and the historic charm of Kuldīga.
