This is one of the strongest gastronomic experiences of the spring. On June 6, Jura Winery invites guests to an elegant dinner among the vineyards.

Of course, in the Dolny Śląsk region, you should not miss the annual flower festival at Książ Castle (April 30 – May 3, 2026). For a few days, the halls of the castle turn into a large-scale artistic installation filled with colors and scents. The theme of 2026 is “Odyseja czasu” — a journey through time, where each room becomes a separate story. Guests can expect a “medieval forest”, Empire-style compositions, projects inspired by the Enlightenment, and even futuristic interpretations. It is better to buy tickets in advance online

Poznań

Two hours from Poznań, in the capital of Polish “Champagne”, the Otwartych Piwnic i Winnic festival will take place again (May 1–3). For a few days, more than 30 historic wine cellars in the city center will be open to visitors. The festival turns the city into a living wine map: you move between locations, taste different wines, learn their stories, and create your own gastronomic route. The atmosphere is enriched by concerts, cultural events, and special bus tours to regional wineries. Special attention should be given to the tasting format: participants receive a set with a glass, a map, and tasting portions that can be used in different locations. Entry to the cellars is free, and only tasting packages are paid. This year, the special guest will be Robert Makłowicz — one of the most well-known promoters of gastronomy and wine culture in Poland. The number of special tasting packages is limited, so don’t wait!

For those who want to dive into the history of the Wielkopolska region, we recommend the Festival of Slavic and Cistercian Culture in Ląd (June 6–7, 2026). On the grounds of a monastery dating back to the 12th century, an event will take place that brings guests into the times of the first Polish rulers. Visitors can expect battle reenactments, early music, and traditional crafts — all surrounded by baroque architecture and nature.
