Visit to a local Vineyard

Excellent experience!! I highly recommend!! Very knowledgeable about area and wine. I even got to meet the wine maker.

For wine lovers, this was an enjoyable way to see something different. Polish wine culture is new and to see what they are doing was fun. Kresy is a small, but growing winery and the owner was a perfect host. He walked us around the vineyard, then brought us inside for a very nice tasting. It was absolutely not pretentious, just fun. The wines were good and we got to sample the famous orange wine and some white wine aged in acacia barrels. Our tour guide did an outstanding job translating for us. We’ve enjoyed a few of the bottles we brought home since then for sure!

My friend and I were the first customers for this new offering by Cracow Local Tours. It is a flat out wonderful way to spend a few hours outside Krakow. Martin, our driver and translator, met us at our apartment in Krakow right on time. He was courteous, friendly, and engaging. He drove us to Kresy Winery, a small family owned winery about 40 minutes from central Krakow in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Robert, the owner and vintner, met us when we arrived and spent about two hours just with my friend and me, with Martin translating. Robert was a terrific host, answering all of our questions, walking us around the vineyard and explaining the land, the vines, the soil, and how he brought his passion for wine to life on his property, as well as the winemaking process. The vineyard produces about 8000 bottles annually. After the tour, Robert hosted a tasting of eight of his wines which were really very good - whites, roses, and a red, as well as a unique orange colored vintage. We purchased three bottles. It was an interesting, entertaining, and relaxing excursion - we highly recommend it. Five stars from both of us and thanks to Robert and Martin for a terrific day!!
