Tartu Mattiesen Print Shop

Vallikraavi tn 4, Tartu linn, Tartu maakond, 51003

The former Mattiesen Print House on the corner of Ülikooli and Vallikraavi Streets is also a noteworthy architectural monument in the centre of Tartu. Printer Carl Gottlieb Mattiesen bought the plot in 1848 and the print shop of the University of Tartu was moved into the wooden house. A stone annex was added to the building later.The building was redesigned in 1997 (architect M Raid) into a café-museum, bookstore and pub. Wilde Pub and Café operated in the building for a long time. A group of bronze sculptures depicting Oscar Wilde and Eduard Vilde was opened in front of the building in 1999 (authors M Karmin and T Trummal).

Memorial Tablet of the Northern Sons of Finland

A black granite memorial tablet bearing almost 200 names was installed on the wall of the Valga Jaani (St John’s) Church in 1934 in remembrance of the Finnish volunteers who fell in the Paju Battle of the War of Independence. The polar bear sign of the Northern Sons Regiment is shown on the shield above the stone. In 1940 the memorial tablet was demolished with pickaxes by the order of communists. The memorial tablet was reopened on the 80th anniversary of the Paju Battle in 1999.Interesting facts: * the memorial tablet was opened in 1934 by President Konstantin Päts; * the first table was made in Finland and the second one in Tartu; * donations for the second tablet were collected by Ylistaro Rural Municipality (Finland) at the initiative of Ossi Salo.

Tasting of Alatskivi’s handcrafted wines

In the historic Deer Garden wine cellar, next to the Alatskivi Castle wall, a small family business, Alatskivi Manor Flavors, operates, producing handcrafted wines from local raw materials. The wines are made from products sourced from Estonian nature, such as rhubarb, wild berries, apples, and grapes, giving each drink a unique local character. In addition to buying wine, it is possible to participate in a tasting that introduces wines through a playful guessing game, in which participants try to identify the ingredients of the wines. The hostess also provides guests with a brief overview of the wine-making process and, if desired, introduces the historic Deer Garden wine cellar and its connection to the former manor in more detail. This is a cozy, personal experience that showcases local raw materials, craftsmanship, and the area's history.
