Who we are

In the heart of Gulbene, where traditions are rooted and new ideas take wing, TĀLAVA was born. Our story began in 2013, when a proud local set out on a mission to create something extraordinary. Surrounded by the abundance of Latvian apples, the vision was simple - craft drinks that are authentic, full of character and true to the spirit of our land. What started as a passion project has since grown into a vibrant family business.

In 2025, we moved from the Tālava region to our new production facility - in our own "Tālavas", in Daudzeva, Aizkraukle region.

Fueled by curiosity and a thirst for adventure, TĀLAVA’s first ciders came to life in the most modest of places - a parent’s garage. With just 1000 liters and a bold dream, we poured our hearts into every bottle. By hand-picking the best local apples and treating them with care, we let each sip tell its own story - one of craftsmanship, tradition and the natural wonders of Latvia.

Fast forward to today and TĀLAVA has grown into one of the Baltic leaders in 100% natural craft beverages - a name that stands for innovation, passion, and a taste for adventure. We take pride in blending professional know-how with creativity, always pushing boundaries while staying true to nature.

Whether you’re seeking a healthier choice or simply love the pure taste of natural drinks, TĀLAVA is here to raise your glass - with quality you can trust and flavors made to be enjoyed.

At TĀLAVA, quality isn’t just a standard - it’s part of who we are. Our curiosity and eye for detail keep every drink original, engaging and just a little daring. We believe good choices should also taste good - that’s why we create beverages that are natural, easy to enjoy and kind to the planet.

When we say natural, we mean it. Every drink is made with care - using hand-picked apples from local farms and real fruit juices. Our juices are cold-pressed to keep the vibrant taste of the fruit, with no concentrates, no artificial flavors and no watered-down shortcuts. Just nature, in its purest form.

But for us, quality also means inclusivity. That’s why almost all of our drinks are proudly vegan and gluten-free - so more people can raise a glass together.
