- 01Lesser PolandNo producers listed yetLesser Poland is a wine region in Poland. A University of Krakow study of Małopolska found that viticulture is possible, but local conditions matter most. Compared with Lower Silesia, Małopolska had weaker air-temperature and precipitation conditions, while location, snow cover and relief were more favorable.
- 02Lower SilesiaNo producers listed yetLower Silesia, in southwestern Poland, has wine traditions dating to the thirteenth century. The Trzebnica Hills form a distinct northern wine area. Across the region, growers work with Solaris, Muscaris and Regent as well as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.
- 03LubuskieNo producers listed yetZielona Góra, between the Oder and Bóbr rivers, is the historic centre of Lubuskie wine culture. Sparkling wine, Traminer and Silvaner belong to its long local story. Today, growers also work with Riesling, Solaris and Regent.
- 04Sandomierz SwietokrzyskieNo producers listed yetRolling hills and south-eastern slopes shape the Sandomierz Upland above the river valleys. The Vistula moderates the local microclimate, while vineyard soils are loess over calcareous material that retains water. Nine vineyards around Sandomierz are linked by the Sandomierz Wine Trail.
