Krakow · WINE TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 9 wine tastings justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Cruise from the Sheraton Hotel near Wawel Castle, passing the Norbertine Convent, Church on the Rock, Kazimierz, Podgórze, bridges, and riverside lights. Choose a glass of wine or an open drinks option, then settle inside or on the upper deck for a relaxed one-hour ride.
“Very good. Would recommend this company as I booked various excursions and everything was organised and efficient.”
Spend about an hour hearing Chopin played by an award-winning pianist in Krakow’s small, atmospheric Chopin Gallery. A host, identified in one account as Marcus, introduces the program and offers a glass of sparkling wine. Choose your own seat, then step into the Old Town for an evening walk.
“Pianist was absolutely amazing, wine was a tad sweet for my liking but still very delicious. Would definitely recommend to any one visiting Krakow”
Spend one festive hour at Royal Chamber Orchestra Hall on Sławkowska Street. You’ll hear Krakow musicians perform Christmas favorites and classical pieces inside the 15th-century Dębiński tenement, with a glass of wine included. Expect stairs, an intimate room, and little spoken explanation.
“Really lovely way to spend part of our evening. beautiful music.”

“It was amazing! Dawid, Agatha, and Zahair were wonderful!”

“A very enjoyable tour about the history of wine in Poland. Our tour guide Bartlomiej was very knowledgeable on the topic of wine and Polish history. One of the highlights of our trip to Poland.”
Join Tomasz for four hours of Polish wine, local cheese, charcuterie, and Krakow walks. Visit three to four wine bars, taste five glasses, learn about Polish winemaking, and finish with Rondo wine in Kazimierz. An optional pastrami, focaccia, or arancini stop costs extra.

Meet at Winnica Wieliczka in Pawlikowice for a 90-minute visit with four vineyard wines, seasonal local snacks, and time among the vines. The small group, English service, picnic seating, and winery backup make this a simple countryside break from Krakow.
“This was such a lovely experience. It’s such a nice, small, but lovely property and the host was exceptional in explaining the wines and also giving me great tips for things to do in Krakow. The wines are excellent - felt compelled to purchase a few!”
