About the Finnish Dinner Date 2027

The Finnish Dinner Date 2027 is an international travel experience organised by Visit Finland through its Have Some Finnish campaign. The initiative invites international singles to discover Finland’s food culture, regional traditions and hospitality through a four-day culinary journey.

Unlike a conventional tourism promotion, this experience combines travel, food exploration and social interaction. Selected participants will enjoy a hosted programme of activities and dining, culminating in a group dinner date featuring one of Finland’s official tasting menus.

The February 2027 edition will feature two destinations: the Helsinki region and Tampere, in Finland’s Lakeland region. Eight international participants will be selected for each destination, making 16 selected travellers in total. Each group will also be joined by two local Finnish singles during the dinner experience.

The exact destination will be revealed to successful applicants after they confirm their participation. The experiences will take place between 9 and 19 February 2027.

The campaign aims to introduce visitors to Finnish cuisine, including regional dishes and ingredients, while creating opportunities to meet other travellers and local people.

Scholarship Benefits

Although this is not an academic scholarship, Visit Finland is offering selected participants an all-expenses-paid four-day trip.

The official campaign confirms the following benefits:

• Fully covered trip: Selected participants receive an all-expenses-paid, four-day experience in Finland.
• Hosted itinerary: Activities and dining are organised throughout the stay.
• Destination experience: Participants will visit either the Helsinki region or Tampere in Lakeland.
• Exclusive dinner event: Each group will enjoy a Finnish official tasting menu at a special group dinner date.
• Cultural and culinary activities: Participants experience Finnish food, regional traditions and local hospitality.
• Social experience: International participants meet fellow travellers and local Finnish singles.

Who Can Apply?

The opportunity is designed for international singles interested in travelling to Finland and experiencing its food culture.

Visit Finland’s official announcement invites international singles to apply, and the campaign is open to applicants from around the world.

For Instagram and TikTok entries, the applicant’s profile must be public so Visit Finland can view the video. YouTube videos may be uploaded as Public or Unlisted.

The official page does not state a specific nationality restriction in its main application instructions. Interested applicants worldwide should therefore consult the campaign’s official terms and conditions before applying.

Final Note from AK Travels LTD

The Finnish Dinner Date 2027 is a unique opportunity for selected international singles to experience Finland through a fully hosted culinary trip. Unlike ordinary travel promotions, applicants must demonstrate creativity by completing the social media video challenge and submitting the official application form.

This is a travel experience, not an academic scholarship or employment opportunity. Selection is competitive, and submitting an application does not guarantee a place.

If you are interested, prepare your video early and ensure that your application is submitted before the official deadline.
