Sabile Wine Hill

Sabile Wine Hill can be definitely considered the symbol of Sabile; moreover, you can see a bunch of grapes in the coat of arms of Sabile.

Sabile Wine Hill is unique, because it has been registered in Guinness Book of World Records as the most northern open-air vineyard in the world. The peak of the hill is approximately 34 metres above the city and the level of the Abava River.

The total area of the garden is 1.5 hectares. New vines are regularly being added to the existing ones, there are approximately 30 different varieties of vines and about 800 plants there. The majority of varieties have been created by the famous Latvian plant breeder Pauls Sukatnieks (1914-1989). The variety named “Zilga” is the most popular. You can also find such exotic plants as peaches, apricots and walnuts in the Wine Hill.

In 2018 the landscape of Abava River Valley from Sabile Wine Hill was chosen as one of the 50 Latvian landscape treasures in the project “Landscape treasures”.

You can hold your wedding ceremony at Sabile Wine Hill. If the weather is good, it guarantees breathtaking views and unforgettable moments captured in photographs.

At the Wine Hill, you can plant your own grapevine, which you can later visit free of charge at any time when the Wine Hill is open, using a special entry card.

It’s a perfect place for photo sessions – both by the grapevines and with the charming Sabile town view in the background.

You can organise a wedding picnic in the small pavilion located at the top of the Wine Hill. It is best suited for small groups, but also convenient if you decide to invite your wedding guests to join you at the Wine Hill.

Sabile wine can only be tasted during the Sabile Wine Festival, but you can enjoy wine and cider tastings at nearby winemakers and cider producers – ask more at the Sabile Tourism Information Centre.
