Wroclaw: Vineyards and Alpacas

Step beyond the city limits of Wroclaw and discover a world of scenic hills, historic sites, fine wine, and friendly alpacas on this one-of-a-kind day trip. Whether you’re looking for an active adventure or a more relaxed countryside escape, this tour offers a charming blend of history, nature, and sensory pleasures—all within easy reach of the city.

Your day begins in Wroclaw with a choice of transport: embark on a scenic 30 km bike ride through the countryside or travel comfortably by bus. The route heads northeast into the picturesque Trzebnickie Hills, a region known for its undulating landscapes, vineyards, and hidden historical gems.

Along the way, history comes alive as you pass two aristocratic palaces. The first stop is Pawłowice Palace, once home to a Prussian noble family, showcasing classic elegance and surrounded by peaceful parklands. Continuing the journey, you’ll spot the ruins of Sybilla Palace in Długołęka, a haunting reminder of the past. Not far from here lies the historic battlefield of Psie Pole, where the dramatic clash between Polish and German forces unfolded in 1109—your guide will recount the full story as you explore this storied ground.

Soon after, you’ll arrive at your main destination: Winnica Moderna, a modern Polish vineyard set against a backdrop of rolling hills. Here, you’ll be welcomed with a guided tasting of four exquisite wines, including the vineyard’s renowned tart Rieslings. The tasting is complemented by a selection of local snacks—cheese, ham, and fresh bread—while the vineyard owner shares insights into Poland’s evolving wine culture and the winery’s own journey.

Just a short walk from the vineyard is Kraina Alpak, a charming alpaca farm in Krakowiany. Enjoy a peaceful and therapeutic walk with an alpaca on a leash, a unique experience designed to relax and connect through gentle animal interaction. Depending on the season, you may also visit a nearby lavender field, especially vibrant during June and July. There’s a chance to purchase handmade lavender products, including soaps, aroma pouches, and oils—perfect souvenirs from the countryside.

The return journey to Wroclaw is by bus, with bike and luggage transport included for those who cycled. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel, ending the day refreshed, inspired, and possibly with a few bottles of wine and gifts in hand.
