Route overview


Scoop leads you through the heart of South Estonia, one memorable stop after another.
Take your time, follow your cravings, and scoop your own path through South Estonia’s flavors.
And the best part? You can make Scoop your own. Take it slow or pick up the pace, mix and match your favorite stops, or even scoop the route in reverse. However you wander, the flavors will be waiting.
Set your pace and let’s go.
Day 1
Tea, Spirits, and a Dash of Fine Dining
Our journey begins on the shores of Lake Peipsi, where time slows down and traditions run deep. The day weaves through cozy cafés and bold flavors, ending with a touch of fine dining in the vibrant heart of Tartu.
Day 2
Orchards, Vineyards, and Sisterly Soul
Today we dive into a world where apples bubble into cider, grapes soak up the sun, and kitchens are filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and maybe a few secret family recipes. Stretch your stomach — and your storytelling muscles — because today, the flavors come with extra personality.
Day 3
Moo´s, Berries, and Backroads
Welcome to Day 3: the day when cows, berries, and a whole lot of fresh air become your new best friends. Get your boots a little muddy, your hands a little cheesy, and your heart very, very full.
Day 4
A Warm Goodbye, Fresh from the Oven
The final day of our Scoop journey is all about slowing down and soaking it all in — the deep forests, the old traditions, and the kind of food that sticks with you long after the last bite. From ancient Seto recipes to cinnamon buns big enough to need their own postcode, today is a sweet and hearty farewell to South Estonia.
Maitsemaa Metsaresto
Travelling with a group of 12 or more? Then this is something truly special. Maitsemaa invites you to dine where nature leads — whether it’s in the middle of a quiet bog, under towering pine trees, or even aboard a riverboat as the sun begins to set.
You’ll enjoy a multi-course dinner prepared on the grill, surrounded by the sights and sounds of South Estonia’s wild beauty. Think sandstone cliffs, ancient forests, and if you’re lucky — a beaver, an otter, or even a kingfisher making a cameo.
The experience is made to be shared. All you need to do is choose your perfect backdrop.
