Sabile, a charming old town in the Courland region of western Latvia, is part of the Tukums municipality and is known as the "strawberry capital of Latvia". Located on the banks of the Vitula River, this town of about 2,000 people is famous for its medieval old town ruins and its high quality strawberries - the annual "Strawberry Festival" in July attracts tourists to taste fresh berries and take part in traditional folklore activities. The town's historic landmark, the Old Winery of Sabile, with its underground cellars dating back to the 17th century, still produces its specialty fruit wines. A stroll through Sabylai, with its cobblestone streets lined with preserved wooden farmhouses and century-old buildings, and surrounded by lush orchards and forests, is both idyllic and humanistic, making it an ideal place to get a taste of the Latvian countryside.
