Puumala: Blueberry Rye Pie Baking Workshop

Discover the authentic taste of Finland with a Blueberry Rye Pie Baking Workshop in Puumala. Join local host Paula Okkola at her charming 1700s log cabin nestled in the Finnish countryside, where you'll learn to make the famous "savolainen mustikkakukko," a beloved regional dessert.

Upon arrival at Paula’s home, conveniently located next to the Niinipuu restaurant, you'll be warmly welcomed with a non-alcoholic drink, enjoyed either in the garden or by the cozy hearth, depending on the weather. Get ready to don an apron and immerse yourself in the hands-on process of crafting the pie from scratch.

Under Paula’s expert guidance, you’ll mix the dough, shape the crust, and fill your pie with fresh blueberries before baking it to perfection. As the delightful aroma fills the air, Paula will share fascinating stories about the Saimaa region, Finnish countryside traditions, and her family's history.

Once your pies are ready, relax over tea or coffee and savor your homemade blueberry rye pie, served with rich vanilla sauce or ice cream. Leave with the original recipe, new baking skills, and cherished memories from this unique Finnish experience.
