An evening in 1687

Step straight into history. It's midsummer in Falun and deep inside the copper mine the unthinkable happens. A massive collapse that should have claimed lives, yet miraculously not a single person perished. It was the day every miner had left to celebrate, and that is exactly where your evening begins.

We gather at the edge of the old mining area for a walk through Elsborg's historic timber neighbourhood. This is where the miners lived, toiled and on rare occasions celebrated, among the Falun-red facades. We move through the quarters and bring the stories to life: the people in the shadow of the mine and the struggle for a decent life in the heart of Sweden's treasure chamber.

We leave the daylight behind and gather around a long table in a cellar by the river. Here the story continues through a carefully composed three-course dinner, where each serving has a direct link to the food culture of the 1600s and the larder of Bergslagen.

The meal is a tribute to genuine craftsmanship, from the silver of the lake and the herbs of the meadow to the berries of the forest. We serve dishes that reflect both the hardship of everyday life and the rare glow of celebration, where food history and symbolism are woven together between bites. This is no ordinary guided tour, it is an evening to see, listen and taste your way through history.
