Zielona Góra, between the Oder and Bóbr rivers, is the historic centre of Lubuskie's wine culture in Poland. The oldest documented local record dates from 1314, although local tradition places the arrival of vines in 1150. Silvaner was an important early grape. Other historical plantings included Traminer, Blauer Spätburgunder, Ruländer, Goldschöndel, Blauschöndel and Müller-Thurgau, with smaller amounts of Riesling. Traminer has remained in cultivation since its introduction. Sparkling wine has a local history too, and the Winobranie festival has celebrated the harvest since 1852. Growers now work with Riesling, Solaris and Regent, while researching vines that survived in former wine districts.
