Highlights of Our Tours
Explore the natural beauty, rich history, and emerging wine culture of Lesser Poland in one unforgettable day. Below is an overview of the key stops on our curated wine and culture tour:
Ojców National Park
Our journey begins in the heart of Ojców National Park, Poland’s smallest yet picturesque national park. Surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, mysterious caves, and lush forest, we’ll take a short drive to soak in the scenery, see the roadside chapels and Hercules’ Club monolith.
Pieskowa Skała Castle
Next, we visit the Renaissance gem of Pieskowa Skała, a beautifully restored castle perched above the Prądnik River Valley. Part of the historic Eagles’ Nests Trail, it once formed a chain of medieval fortresses guarding southern Poland. There will be time to admire the castle and take in the panoramic views.
Lunch in a Local Tavern
We’ll pause for a hearty lunch at a traditional local tavern, where you’ll enjoy regional specialties made with locally sourced ingredients. Expect authentic Polish hospitality and flavors to match the landscape.
🍇 Winnica Zagardle – Wine & Cheese Tasting
Our first vineyard stop is Winnica Zagardle, a family-run winery nestled near the village of Szczodrkowice. Here, you’ll taste several local wines paired with artisan cheeses, while learning about the winemaking process directly from the owners.
About the Eagles’ Nests Trail
As we continue to our next stop, you’ll follow stretches of the legendary Eagles’ Nests Trail – a scenic route connecting 25 medieval castles and fortresses stretching from Kraków to Częstochowa. The trail winds through stunning highland landscapes and speaks to centuries of Polish heritage.
🍷 Winnica Jura – Vineyard with a View
Our final stop is the elegant Winnica Jura, located in Rybna. This vineyard is known for its environmentally conscious approach to winemaking and its spectacular setting. Enjoy a final tasting of signature wines, and if the weather cooperates, take in breathtaking views over the Wisła River Valley and even the distant Tatra Mountains.
