Visegrad Wine Route

Enjoy a wine weekend in Poland!

For the eighth time the International Wine Days will be held in Jasło (Poland). The event, traditionally takes place during the last holiday weekend (August 31 – September 1) and always brings together crowds of wine enthusiasts.

We invite you to Jasło because it’s the only occasion in Poland where you can meet at once so many winemakers presenting their products, taste and compare different Polish and foreign wines. Moreover you will have the chance to talk to winemakers, who will provide advices on how to establish and maintain a vineyard and make your own wine.

Come to Jasła … it’s worth!
