Modern farm production and rich cultural heritage are combined at Piesta Kuusikaru Farm in Vändra forest in Pärnu County. The local family restored the farm that belonged to their entrepreneurial ancestors and they now welcome guests and showcase their small production: from making juice to creating a brand.
During the tour, we will explore the apple garden and apple house, where Piesta apple products are made (guests can also try them out). We will also tell exciting stories about the history of the farm – including stories about Papa Jannsen, Juhan Liiv, and Joosep Toots.
Visiting the farm (which is nearly 150 years old) during the ESTONIA 100 anniversary year is a perfect way to revisit the story of the formation of the Estonian nation.
Come explore the Tori Horse Breeding Farm – a place where Estonia's proudest horses, the Tori, represent the country's cultural heritage!
During the guided tour, we will visit the Tori Horse Breeding Farm Museum, where you will get an intriguing overview of life on the farm and hear the stories of local residents through the ages, sprinkled with mystical events. Then we will stroll through the stables and grounds, where friendly Tori horses welcome guests and offer unforgettable moments for both big and small.
The tour is perfect for a family day or nature and culture enthusiasts. At the end of the day, you can relax at Villa River Rose. For an additional fee, you can enjoy a hot country sauna right by the riverbank, freshly prepared delicious food, and a caring host family who ensures the whole day is memorable and enjoyable. There are other guided tours as well.

I invite you to discover the town of Tori on the edge of Soomaa National Park – a place of legends and history.
Tori is a true Pärnu County gem. It is mysterious, mystical, and full of surprises. Here lies the famous Tori Hell cave. Folklore says that this was the center of the world; the whole world revolved around Tori's axis. Let's step into the depths of hell and listen to ancient stories that come to life.
The town is also home to the dignified Tori Church, which has been restored as a memorial to all victims of the Second World War. History lives on in this peaceful place.
Tori is also known for its horses. It is home to Estonia's oldest stud farm, where proud Estonian and Tori breed horses have been raised for centuries. The stable complex houses an inspiring museum. Naturally, the horses themselves are there to greet you!
Come and let yourself be captivated by Tori's stories – this is a journey that will take you along the paths of legends and living history!
