Our Drinks Selection

Our venue holds a full alcohol licence and our bar serves guests throughout the event. We offer a carefully selected range of wines, craft beers, spirits and non-alcoholic options to complement every menu and occasion.

Our wine list is curated to pair with our seasonal menus — recommendations are always tailored to your main course. For larger groups, we are happy to put together a drinks package in advance.

For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, we offer a varied selection of soft drinks, juices, sparkling water and non-alcoholic alternatives that are every bit as carefully chosen as the rest.

Please note: all drinks are served by our staff. Guests are not permitted to bring their own drinks to the venue.

“The best flavours come from close by.”

Seasonal local ingredients are at the heart of everything we do. Lamb from nearby farms, pike-perch from the lakes, honey from our own beehives and fresh herbs from our kitchen garden. At Apaja, you do not just taste how food is made — you see it.

Recognised quality

The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs award was presented to Savutuvan Apaja in 2021 in recognition of quality, individuality and the preservation of Finnish culinary traditions. Quality is not a coincidence. It is a choice we make every day.

Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

From our own soil

At the heart of the courtyard grows our kitchen garden, where herbs, vegetables and flowers are cultivated for our food and drinks. Our own beehives provide honey and pollen to flavour our menus and cocktails. Guests are welcome to pick fresh produce during their visit.

Apaja Garden

Apaja Honey

Our two beehives are home to busy bees whose work keeps our kitchen garden blooming. The honey they produce flavours our menus, cocktails and desserts throughout the season.

A jar of Apaja honey also makes a perfect souvenir or gift to take home.

Sauhu – Smoke lager

Sauhu is Savutuvan Apaja’s own light smoke lager, developed in collaboration with Panimoyhtiö X. The malts are smoked in Apaja’s own smoke sauna, giving the beer a gentle, distinctive smokiness. Light, refreshing and unique, a true taste of Apaja in every glass.
