Krakow: Knights, Castles & Jurassic Wine Tour

Step into the heart of medieval Poland and the Jurassic highlands on this immersive day trip from Krakow. Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Krakow and a scenic drive through the picturesque countryside of the Jura region. Your first stop is Tenczyn Castle, a striking medieval fortress built of white limestone atop the remnants of an ancient volcano. Once an important defensive stronghold, the castle offers stunning views and echoes tales of knights, noble families, and centuries of history. A guided tour of the castle, conducted in Polish with live English translation, allows you to uncover its dramatic past while walking through its weathered walls and towers.

After exploring the castle grounds, continue your journey into the world of Polish winemaking with a visit to Winnica Zagrabie. Nestled in the serene Jurassic landscape, this charming vineyard is owned and run by passionate winemakers who will personally guide you through their vines and production area.

Enjoy a tasting of five carefully selected wines, each revealing the character of the local terroir. The experience is elevated with a generous selection of local Polish specialties, including tarta boards, cheeses, cured meats, and vegetarian options. What truly sets this visit apart is the storytelling — the owners love sharing the personal history of their craft, making your time here feel both intimate and unforgettable.
