Calendar of 2020 Most Popular Polish Wine Festivals, Picnics and Vineyard Events

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO TASTE WINE AT THE VERY SAME PLACE IT HAS BEEN CREATED?

Vine tasting accompanied by stories told by those who know every detail about them is truly fascinating! While having a glass of wine in such a place, you may not only catch the passion from the owners but also ask them the most notorious questions about wine – How weather shapes the taste of wine? Is old always better? Single variety or blend wine?
