Dive into the rich world of Turkish coffee making and fortune telling in Vilnius! This fun and immersive workshop lets you learn the ancient art of brewing Turkish coffee and discover the secrets hidden in your coffee grounds.
Overview
This tour offers you a chance to experience one of the most beloved traditions in Turkish culture—coffee making. Turkish coffee is an iconic beverage, steeped in centuries of tradition, and in this workshop, you’ll not only learn how to prepare the perfect cup but also uncover the fascinating process behind it. From grinding the beans to brewing it in the traditional cezve (coffee pot) over a small flame, you’ll be guided by a local expert who will share tips and tricks passed down through generations. By the end of the session, you’ll be able to make Turkish coffee just like the pros—and impress your friends and family back home with your newfound skills.
Once your coffee is brewed, it's time to experience the mystical tradition of fortune telling with Turkish coffee grounds. After you enjoy your coffee, the fun continues as your guide explains how the shapes and patterns formed in the remaining coffee grounds reveal insights into your future. This unique, ancient form of divination has been a cherished tradition in Turkish culture for centuries, and now you can try it for yourself! With the help of your guide, you’ll learn how to interpret the patterns in the coffee grounds, making for a fun and intriguing experience that’s both interactive and deeply cultural.
The workshop includes everything you need for an authentic experience: a step-by-step guide to Turkish coffee making, a personalized fortune telling session, and all necessary materials. You’ll receive a cup of Turkish coffee brewed by yourself, using the traditional method with high-quality Turkish coffee beans. Your fortune telling will be guided by a local expert who will provide insight into the interpretations of your coffee grounds. The tour is designed to be educational, fun, and engaging, leaving you with both knowledge and a memorable experience to share with others.
While the workshop is full of immersive activities, there are some items that are not included in the package. Additional food or drinks outside of the Turkish coffee are not part of the tour, so make sure to come with an empty stomach if you plan to have a snack. Any additional fortune telling sessions beyond the included one, or other personal services from the guide, are not included. Likewise, entrance fees to other attractions in Vilnius are not part of this experience, so plan accordingly if you wish to explore the city after the workshop.
This workshop is perfect for anyone with an interest in learning new skills and experiencing a part of Turkish culture. It’s suitable for all ages and doesn’t require any previous experience in coffee making or fortune telling. The experience is designed to be both fun and educational, so it’s ideal for couples, friends, or families looking for an interactive and lighthearted activity. Please note that the fortune telling aspect is intended for entertainment purposes only, and the tour is not suitable for those seeking serious or professional readings.

Before booking, please be aware that the experience includes one coffee brewing and fortune telling session per participant, and any additional sessions or services will incur extra charges. Entrance fees to other attractions in Vilnius are not covered, so if you plan to explore the city after the workshop, you’ll need to purchase tickets separately.

Such a warm, authentic experience! Mehmet taught us to grind beans and brew in the cezve with perfect foam. But the fortune-telling? Pure magic! Mine showed a bird shape – he said it meant travel surprises. Laughed with my wife over her 'abundance' prediction. You leave not just with skills, but a real connection to Turkish hospitality. Still use his foam technique back home!

My teen daughters and I adored this! Hands-on from start: roasting, grinding, stirring. The fortune-telling had us giggling – 'a tall stranger' in my cup! Our guide wove in cultural stories about coffee’s role in Turkish marriages. Sipping our own brews while learning was pure joy. Unique souvenir: the skills to host a Turkish coffee night back home.

Unexpected highlight! Skeptical about fortunes, but reading grounds was fascinatingly tactile. Brewing was an art – mastering the foam took practice, but the instructor’s patience paid off. Loved hearing how families pass down interpretations. Small group meant personal attention. Left clutching my recipe card like treasure. Authentic and utterly memorable.

More than a demo – we made coffee traditionally! From selecting the grind to controlling the boil. The fortune session felt intimate, not gimmicky. Mine revealed 'music notes' (I’m a pianist!), and our guide connected it to Ottoman coffeehouse traditions. That first sip of my own perfectly brewed cup? Priceless. Cultural immersion at its finest.

I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did! The workshop was so well organized and personal. Our host was knowledgeable and super engaging. Making the coffee over the flame felt like stepping back in time. I loved that it wasn’t just a demonstration—we actually got to do everything ourselves. The fortune telling at the end was hilarious and surprisingly accurate! If you're curious about Turkish culture, this is such a nice way to dive in.

I booked this on a whim while visiting Vilnius and I’m really glad I did. It’s a very chill, hands-on activity that gives you a taste of Turkish traditions—literally. Making the coffee was simple but satisfying, and I appreciated how our guide explained not just the how, but the why behind everything. The fortune telling was a fun touch and made everyone laugh. Highly recommend it for a relaxed, cultural afternoon.

I really enjoyed the workshop—it felt very authentic and personal. The guide was friendly and explained everything clearly, and I loved making the coffee myself. The fortune telling part was a fun twist and got a few laughs from the group. My only complaint is that the session felt a bit short. I would have liked a little more time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. Still, it was a great experience overall!

The workshop was a cool way to dive into a piece of Turkish culture, especially if you like coffee. Making it over the open flame was a nice touch, and the guide made it all easy to follow. The fortune telling was lighthearted and entertaining. I do think it would’ve been nice to have at least a small snack or sweet with the coffee—something traditional maybe. Otherwise, it was a very enjoyable afternoon.
