VISITING THE PARK-MUSEUM

The Ilzenberg Manor Park, situated between two lakes – Ilgis and Apvalasai – invites you to dive into a world of silence, beauty, and inspiration, which combines history, nature and human creativity. It is a space where every step becomes a discovery. The park has miles of gently winding paths that lead through centuries-old trees, revealing tree-lined avenues, quiet places to rest, and impressive contemporary art sculptures that blend harmoniously into the natural landscape. Here you will also find Love Island – a magical, peaceful space with a rotunda that invites you to take a moment to pause and reflect.

Families will enjoy the playgrounds, the legendary Ilzenberg Manor Oak standing majestically at the entrance to the park, and special park inhabitants – the “Stelmužiukai,” descendants of the Stelmužė Oak, which immortalize the natural heritage of Lithuania. Every corner of the park is a world of feelings, peace and values, inviting you to slow down, listen to the silence of nature and feel the true harmony of the Ilzenberg spirit.

FOOD TASTINGS

Visitors to the Manor are invited to experience the world of the tastes and flavours of products made in harmony with nature at the Ilzenberg Manor Farm by booking a tasting of farm products and food.

Every product you taste is healthy and delicious, naturally taking us back to the past and reminding us of what is so lacking today – naturalness, a connection to the land and the past, and harmony with nature. Food products at Ilzenberg Manor are produced on the farm, which in 2019 received an award for land conservation and practices that do not cause harm to nature. High-quality and responsible farming ensures products that meet the highest standards, many of which have already been awarded the Gold Medal for “Lithuanian Product of the Year”: soured milk, stewed chicken, ayran, white curd cheese, and we have no doubt that the list will only get longer in the future.

WINE TASTING

Wine is history, culture, secrets, and… a gourmet delight. Enjoy the wine produced at the Manor

Since the XIV century, German nobles have cultivated vineyards in the northern regions. It is likely that a vineyard existed at Ilzenberg Manor as early as the XVI century. The wine was aged in vaulted Gothic cellars, which have remained in the Manor Palace to this day.

Traditions are being revived. The largest vineyard in Lithuania was established in 2019. This is where the unique ILZENBERG wines are born, aged in the Manor’s cellars.

VINEYARD AND WINEMAKING

Ilzenberg Manor is a place where tradition and the greatness of nature blend into an exceptional winemaking experience. As early as the XIV century, German noblemen planted vineyards in the northernmost part of the world, and it is quite likely that grapes were also grown at Ilzenberg Manor. The wine was then aged in vaulted Gothic cellars – authentic spaces that have been preserved to this day and where our exceptional wines are aged today.

Today, Ilzenberg Manor is proud to have the largest vineyard in Lithuania, where the unique ILZENBERG wine is born. Here, fertile soil, carefully selected grape varieties, and respect for nature create a wine that reflects history, culture and the harmony of nature. The wines are aged in the cellars of the manor, where the natural environment and authentic Gothic vaults give them a distinctive taste and aroma.

Winemaking at Ilzenberg Manor is not just about production, but also about the experience: visiting the vineyards, wine tastings in authentic cellars, and learning about the subtleties and traditions of winemaking. Every sip here reveals the greatness of the manor, its historical spirit and a carefully cultivated culture of taste.

Ilzenberg Manor is a place where history, nature and winemaking blend into an exceptional, inspiring experience that invites you to discover the true world of Lithuanian wine.
