VINEYARDS OF WEST POMERANIA
Over the past few years, Polish winemaking has been developing dynamically, with more vineyards being built in the region. Some of them are large and their products are sold on a relatively large scale (e.g. in specialized wine stores and through their own website), while in the smaller ones, the taste of the beverage produced can only be known when at the location. There are also West Pomeranian vineyards, which are taking their 'first steps’ in the wine business – they are just now having their first grapevines planted in their area, and we still have to wait for a while for the fruit of labor in these places.
West Pomeranian wines
The most popular varieties
West Pomeranian vineyards are famous for the cultivation of grapes referred to as hybrids, which were created as a result of conscious human intervention in order to make them resistant to low temperatures and various diseases. Such varieties include, among others, Solaris, very popular in Poland, as well as Hibernal, Johanniter, Regent, Rondo, Seyval Blanc, and Cabernet Cortis. In addition to the hybrids mentioned above, international varieties such as Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir have also found their way here.
From these varieties a whole wide range of wines are produced – white, red, pink and even amber wines full of flavor and aroma, sweet and persistent, still, i.e. without the proverbial bubbles, and sparkling.
We are developing enotourism
Enotourism, or in other words – wine tourism, the practice of which, as the name suggests, consists in visiting vineyards and wine-producing places and participating in various types of wine-related events. Thanks to the unique microclimate, West Pomerania is a place with enormous enotourism potential, the exploration of which can become an unforgettable adventure, combining visiting vineyards with experiencing the beauty of their surroundings. That is why we promote West Pomeranian vineyards.
The offer of West Pomeranian vineyards usually includes sightseeing and tasting (by appointment), as well as the organization of events. Vineyard owners are also happy to share knowledge about their cultivation and production. Additionally, in some of them or in their vicinity, it is possible to stay overnight.
West Pomeranian vineyards can be reached by car, but many of these places are located near bicycle routes and tourist attractions, which may be an additional incentive to visit. One of the enotourism curiosities is the fact that the region is home to the largest vineyard in Poland (Turnau Vineyard), the northernmost vineyard of our country (Darłowo Vineyard) and one whose wine has been appreciated by Queen Elizabeth’s sommelier (Kojder Vineyards).
