How to say cheers in Estonia

Estonia, a Nordic gem in Northern Europe, seamlessly weaves medieval history with modern digital innovation. From the fairy-tale cobblestone streets of Tallinn’s Old Town and dense, enchanted pine forests to its scenic Baltic coastline and thousands of peaceful islands, Estonia offers a captivating mix of rich heritage, serene nature, and boutique charm.

Drinking culture in Estonia is warm, convivial, and deeply tied to social gatherings, especially during long summer nights and festive winter holidays. Locals take immense pride in craft beers, crisp ciders, and traditional herbal liqueurs like the legendary Vana Tallinn, which is often enjoyed neat, with coffee, or poured over ice cream.

The standard and most genuine way to say cheers when raising a glass in Estonia is Terviseks! (literally meaning "to your health").
