We’ve just wrapped up a small-group food and wine tour in Szczecin and West Pomerania region of Poland on the Baltic Sea coast. All guests on this tour were very excited that touring and wine tasting at Winnica Turnau – Turnau Vineyard was included on the itinerary. Many had no idea, that in the region of Poland so far north-west, there would be any wine produced! But it so happens, that Turnau Vineyard not only produces top Polish wines but is also the largest vineyard in Poland with 34 hectares – 84 acres total land area.

Currently in Poland, in just about every region, there are vineyards growing many different varieties of grapes, making award-winning wines and welcoming enotourists! At present we offer five distinct wine tours into four regions of Poland: Lower Silesia, Subcarpathia, Lesser Poland and Lubuskie and now are also planning on including West Pomerania region!

Vineyards in Poland 2023

West Pomeranian vineyards are famous for the cultivation of grapes known as hybrids, which were created as a result of conscious human intervention in order to make them resistant to low temperatures and various diseases. Such strains include Solaris, popular in Poland, as well as Hibernal, Johanniter, Regent, Rondo, Seyval Blanc and Cabernet Cortis. In addition to the aforementioned hybrids, vitis vinifera strains such as Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir also perform well.
