BRUNCH IN THE FOREST

Sundays were made for slowing down – for lingering conversations, unhurried meals, and moments that nourish more than hunger. But what if brunch became something beyond a table?

ABOUT THE EVENT

Just thirty minutes from the heart of Vilnius, nestled within Sanctum’s forest sanctuary, awaits a brunch unlike any other.

This is not simply a meal – it is a sensory journey through the flavours, textures, aromas, and ancient wisdom of the forest. Guided by curiosity rather than convention, you’ll discover wild ingredients in unexpected forms, tasting with your hands, breathing in botanical fragrances, listening more deeply, and, at moments, surrendering sight altogether.

As familiar senses gently fall away, new ones awaken. What begins as brunch gradually becomes an invitation to experience food with renewed presence – and to see the natural world through an entirely different lens.

The culinary experience is created by Akvilė Petniūnaitė, pioneer of Lithuania’s Forest Fancy movement. Working primarily with wild ingredients foraged from forests and meadows, she transforms seasonal plants into refined sensory tastings that celebrate the richness of the landscape.

Part of the experience unfolds blindfolded, allowing the forest to quietly receive everything you arrived carrying.

Dress code: comfortable clothing is recommended. As part of the Sanctum experience, shoes are left at the entrance.

Please do arrive on time and, once you’re here, take your time to enjoy the space. The sensory journey begins at 12:30.
