Both small and large pine trees have cones. But in order to harvest them more successfully and not have to climb high, it is recommended to choose smaller pines. In spring, along with other plants, pines with purple young cones also “bloom”. The best time for harvest is until Midsummer, when they are still soft and green.

Pine cones are harvested in the Gauja National Park. At first is made pine cone wine, then it is distilled in order to gain the happy Ferryman’s name. We recommend cone distillate for those who like refreshing, unusual tastes. It is a great opportunity to taste the real power of nature. Take a deep breath and the journey can begin!

From pine cones we also produce pine cone jam.
