Craft Workshop in the Old Manor

An exciting and not too expensive method for decorating flower pots, trays, mugs, vases and similar items with pictures cut from napkins. Decoupage (from the French word decouper – to cut out) is an application technique used to achieve a painted effect on the item being decorated.
The technique was invented in China and spread to Europe in the 17th–18th centuries. Today decoupage is also known as “napkin technique”. Decoupage can breathe new life into old objects and generally decorate a variety of items (flower pots, picture frames, dishes, candles, boxes, furniture and even textiles).

Duration approximately 1 hour, up to 15 people per group.
Price for up to 10 guests 150 €, each additional guest 15 €

Salt Scrub Making Workshop

To keep the skin youthful and firm, it is good to cleanse it deeply from time to time. In the workshop we mix together salt, nourishing oils and various aromatic herbs. Salt crystals massage gently, exfoliate rough skin, stimulating and accelerating fat burning. The salt scrub cleanses, refreshes and prepares the skin for the next treatment. After use, the skin is incomparably radiant and wonderfully fragrant!

Duration approximately 10 min, up to 15 people per group
Price for up to 10 guests 150 €, each additional guest 15 €

Manor Lady’s Berry Schnapps Making Workshop

At the end of a manor tour or as a continuation of a lovely day, we offer the opportunity to make a so-called “manor lady’s herb or berry schnapps” to take home or give as a gift to friends and acquaintances. The berry bushes in the manor garden have always been laden with fruit and the forest baskets equally full of harvest, and the manor lady would make a few homemade berry schnapps/liqueurs for a change from jams and compotes. And what could be more refreshing than sipping a glass of summer-flavoured liqueur with a companion on a crisp winter evening! Berry liqueurs made with vodka are best suited to the beginner liqueur maker. They are simple and you can take a creative approach to quantities: those who want a stronger drink add more vodka; those who prefer it sweeter use more sugar.

Duration approximately 15 min, up to 15 people per group
Price for up to 10 guests 200 €, each additional guest 20 € 

Soap Felting Workshop

A simple craft technique that can be learned quickly, where wool transforms into felt through the effect of soapy water and friction. A good way to start learning felting is by making a gently exfoliating and skin-massaging felted soap. Felt is gentle on the skin and, if cared for properly, also extends the life of the soap.

Felted soap is ideal as an alternative to a body scrub. Felted soap is a wonderful gift idea for yourself or for making gifts for friends and acquaintances.

Duration approximately 30 minutes, up to 15 people per group
Price for up to 10 guests 150 € per person, each additional guest 15 €

Make “Vihula Peppermint Sparkle”

At Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa, the signature cocktail Vihula Sparkle combines bold Vihula vodka with refreshing citrus, mint, and a gentle hint of sweetness, creating a perfectly balanced and uplifting summer drink.
