YOU TO VISIT South Ostrobothnia!

We = a peculiar tribe of straight-talking South Ostrobothnians who are proud of their home, strong-willed and get things done. Get to know us if you dare – it’s

definitely worth it!

Our region is full of attractions and events. Seinäjoki is the home base of some of the biggest summer events in Finland – experience the thrill of sports events or the Provinssi music festival, Tangomarkkinat tango festival and many other

events.

There is a lot going on here! The Dudesons Activity Park in Seinäjoki and other family activities in the region will get your head spinning.

The local boldness and creativity are highlighted in art and trade, in particular. Buildings designed by architect Alvar Aalto enchant visitors with their design, and the region’s art venues and artisan shops are definitely worth visiting for

something unique to bring home. Naturally, we also cater to all the basic needs of travellers: there are many accommodation options ranging from local country

houses to hotels, and since our region is known as the food province, we recommend that you explore the local cuisine.

short distances.

MANOR HOUSE OF UPPALAIlmarisenkatu 14, 60100 Seinäjokitel. +358 6 414 1800www.uppalankartano.fi

MANOR HOUSE OF UPPALAEnjoy good food and ambiance in the heart of Seinäjoki at the Manor House of Uppala. Located very close to Seinäjoki city centre, the Manor House of Uppala is one of the city’s original estates around which Seinäjoki has been built over time. Over the years, the Manor House of Uppala has been a farm, an inn, a carpentry mill and the finance office of a church. The first female veterinarian in Europe also held her practice there.

In 2009, a family company opened a restau-rant at the renovated Uppala farm, and the wonderful food and service resonate with authenticity, thoughtfulness and integrity. The manor’s farming history is reflected in the use of pure, domestic ingredients and, where possible, local produce from homes-tead farms. The kitchen uses herbs and edible flowers grown in planter boxes on the manor grounds as well as the bounties of the strawberry field and orchard to create culinary delights for the customers to enjoy. The excellent flavours are complemented by reasonably priced quality wines carefully

selected by the sommelier. The impressive environment continues beyondthe manor’s elegant interiors; the uni-que park-like garden and Seikkailumetsä (‘Adventure Forest’) playground for children offer fantastic places for outdoor meals in summertime.

Our customers include corporate groups, family parties and families with children, for example. Through good service that is cus-tomised for each situation, our professional staff put the finishing touches to amazing and comprehensive experiences.
