This immersive experience blends nature, culture, and wine, taking you from the Swiss-style wooden architecture of Ojców to a tasting of exceptional orange wines at a local vineyard. Ideal for active travelers, nature lovers, and wine enthusiasts alike, this tour promises a memorable escape from the city into one of Poland’s most scenic and historic regions.

Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Krakow and a scenic transfer to the charming Korzkiew Castle, where your biking adventure kicks off.

In the afternoon, you’ll be welcomed at Winnica Kresy, a family-run vineyard known for its production of high-quality natural and orange wines. Learn about the winemaking process during a short vineyard tour, followed by a guided tasting of five different wines, served with delicious Polish snacks like local cheese and sausage.
