Tour Itinerary
Fly to Kuopio via Helsinki and transfer by private car to the brand-new luxury retreat, Kotona Manor. Upon arrival, meet you hosts and settle into your elegant suite, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Finnish Lakeland. In the evening, savour a beautifully prepared welcome dinner, showcasing the finest locally-sourced ingredients. (D)
After a nourishing breakfast, venture into the surrounding wilderness on a guided hiking and foraging experience. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, foraging is a treasured part of Finnish life. With your own basket in hand, discover the forest’s hidden bounty - from chanterelles to lingonberries -, ingredients that may later feature in your evening meal. Enjoy a rustic outdoor lunch in nature before returning to explore Finland’s celebrated sauna culture and experience the ritual of preparing a smoke sauna. (B,L,D)

Enjoy a lakeside lunch and soak in the natural beauty of the Saimaa region. Return in the afternoon with time to unwind, or take advantage of the equipment available* - including rowing boats, SUP boards and canoes - to make the most of Lake Saimaa. As evening falls, revisit the sauna area for another moment of deep relaxation in Finland’s beloved wellness tradition. Then, gather once again for a beautifully prepared dinner at Kotona. (B,L,D)
