About this event

  • 1 hour

During the amber tasting, we will not only tell you about amber but also show you different types of amber found around the world and in Lithuania, as well as its various forms created by nature. With the help of a unique device, you will hear the sound of amber as it is carried ashore by Baltic waves, and you will smell its scent, which varies depending on the origin and conditions. Moreover, you will experience something you might never get to repeat – tasting amber. Don't worry, amber is not like flint, so there will be no sparks flying from your mouth.

Amber is a unique creation of nature, like a stone, yet it holds traces of life within it. Holding a 40-million-year-old piece of fossilized resin, you can feel the texture of tree bark with your fingertips. If you're lucky, through a polished window of amber, you might see a spider or another creature trapped millions of years ago in the sticky resin and preserved forever.If you are ready to get to know amber with all your senses, we invite you to the Amber Tasting.

It will be truly fascinating!
