A wine list of 470 selections and a sommelier team under Andrzej Strzelecki round out one of the more serious dining propositions in the Baltic region.
Kraków, Poland
Bottiglieria 1881 holds two Michelin stars and an 87.5-point La Liste score, placing it at the sharp end of Kraków's modern Polish fine dining scene. Chef Przemysław Klima leads a kitchen rooted in Polish culinary tradition, while Wine Director Michał Drozdowski oversees a 1,600-bottle cellar with particular depth in Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. Dinner service runs Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm.
Poznań, Poland
Muga reigns as Poznań's only Michelin-starred restaurant, where Chef Artur Skotarczyk transforms Polish ingredients through French techniques in extraordinary tasting menus. Connected to Casa de Vinos wine bar, this intimate fine dining destination offers twelve-course culinary journeys paired with notable European vintages just steps from the Old Market Square.
Warsaw, Poland
A Michelin-starred address in Warsaw's Powiśle district, Rozbrat 20 sits alongside a green park corridor and brings Modern European cooking to one of the city's most quietly residential neighbourhoods. Chef Bartosz Szymczak's kitchen holds a Michelin star for consecutive years, and the wine programme has drawn three separate Star Wine List citations in 2026 alone, a combination that places it at the upper tier of Warsaw's serious dining scene.
Kościelisko, Poland
Chef Przemek Sieradzki works through three tasting menus and an à la carte, drawing on Polish produce alongside French-sourced ingredients. It is one of the few fine-dining addresses in the Tatra foothills operating at this level of recognition.
Warsaw, Poland
NUTA Warsaw elevates fine dining through Chef Andrea Camastra's Michelin-starred fusion of Italian, Polish, and Asian influences, where molecular gastronomy meets multicultural mastery. This sophisticated restaurant near Plac Trzech Krzyży features innovative tasting menus, an on-site culinary laboratory, and notable wine pairings in an elegant, jazz-inspired setting.
Warsaw, Poland
hub.praga earned its first Michelin star in 2025, graduating from a Michelin Plate the year prior, a trajectory that positions it among Warsaw's most closely watched modern cuisine addresses. Located in the Praga district, it runs a flexible format of small plates or a full tasting menu. Chef Witek Iwański leads the kitchen.
Warsaw, Poland
A 12-seat omakase counter on Warsaw's outskirts serving 20 to 30 pieces of Edomae-style sushi. Chef Alon Than works with Hokkaido scallops, Icelandic sea urchin, and Spanish tuna in a minimalist room designed to keep attention on the knifework and precision seasoning. Omakase format only.
Wrocław, Poland
At BABA, Chef Beata Śniechowska distills the warmth of Polish home cooking into an elegant, modern bistro experience designed for informed palates. Closely set tables hum with convivial energy, while bright, attentive service orchestrates an evening that feels both intimate and effortlessly polished. Signature dishes like the Tribute to Polish Homes—an exquisitely refined interpretation of classic meatloaf with a subtle spiced lift—pair beautifully with a considered selection of Polish wines, showcasing regional prowess and terroir. Here, generosity of flavor meets thoughtful restraint, and each course is crafted to delight without ostentation. It’s a place where culinary nostalgia and contemporary technique converge, creating a sense of discovery in every bite and a lasting impression of refined comfort.
Wrocław, Poland
Most sits in Wrocław’s more formal modern-cuisine tier, using a tasting-menu format to put ingredient combinations ahead of à la carte choice. Its Michelin Plate recognition in 2025 matters because the city’s ambitious dining scene is still compact, and the restaurant’s riverside setting behind Między Mostami gives it a quieter, more deliberate register than many central tables.
Pszczyna, Poland
Steampunk occupies a converted 19th-century water tower in Pszczyna, Silesia, making it one of Poland's more architecturally distinctive dining addresses. The restaurant returned in 2024 after a multi-year closure, previously operating as Wodna Wieża. For travellers passing through Upper Silesia, it represents a serious reason to stop in a town better known for its baroque palace than its restaurant scene.
Warsaw, Poland
A wine-bar-turned-kitchen on one of Warsaw's most storied streets, Kieliszki na Próżnej pairs a sommelier-led list with a focused Modern European menu under chef Marek Burakowski.

Chef Robert Trzópek brings training from several leading European kitchens to a format that reads as modern Polish in idiom and seasonal in construction. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday, with Saturday service opening earlier at 4 pm.
Warsaw, Poland
Kontakt arrived on Warsaw's Sandomierska in early 2025 carrying the low-intervention wine bar energy familiar from Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen, and earned back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025 for doing so at a single euro-sign price point. The Mediterranean kitchen keeps things casual and produce-led, making this one of the more interesting arrivals in the city's mid-market dining scene.
Kraków, Poland
On Kraków's oldest and most architecturally preserved street, Copernicus holds a Michelin Plate for two consecutive years and a specific commendation for creative cooking. Chef Yuji Iwasaki leads a modern cuisine program that sits at the upper end of Kraków's fine dining tier, priced at €€€ and drawing consistently strong reviews from.
Gdańsk, Poland
Fino occupies a narrow address on Grząska in Gdańsk's old quarter, building its reputation around vegetable-forward modern cuisine and a wine bar program that earned White Star recognition from Star Wine List in 2024. Consecutive Michelin Plate awards in 2024 and 2025 place it among a small cohort of Gdańsk restaurants drawing national attention. The Plant tasting menu is the calling card; book ahead.
Gdańsk, Poland
Positioned on Targ Rybny in Gdańsk's historic centre, Mercato operates within the Hilton Gdańsk as a fine-dining address with a modern, stone-and-wood interior and a kitchen led by Chef Kelvin Chai. The restaurant holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and has climbed from Opinionated About Dining's Highly Recommended tier in 2023 to a ranked position of #228 in 2025, marking consistent upward recognition in a competitive European field.
Warsaw, Poland
On Mokotowska, one of Warsaw's quieter central streets, Ale Wino has held a consistent position in the city's mid-range Polish dining tier since 2013. Holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand (2024), a Michelin Plate (2025), and an Opinionated About Dining recommendation, it sits at the intersection of traditional Polish cooking and considered modern technique, with a price point that keeps it accessible without sacrificing kitchen ambition.
Warsaw, Poland
On Krakowskie Przedmieście, Warsaw's most architecturally charged street, Epoka holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and a La Liste score of 76.5 points. Chef Diego Moya leads an innovative kitchen that positions the restaurant in the upper tier of Warsaw's fine-dining scene, alongside Michelin-starred peers at a higher price point than most of the city's modern Polish brigade.
Warsaw, Poland
Dyletanci has operated since 2016 as one of Warsaw's more considered neo-bistro formats, combining a restaurant, wine bar, and wine shop under one address. The €€€ pricing places it in Warsaw's mid-to-upper modern cuisine tier.
Kraków, Poland
Folga holds consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition (2024 and 2025) and a Star Wine List White Star, placing it among the more consistent value-driven modern cuisine addresses in Kraków's Old Town.
Warsaw, Poland
Le Braci holds consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition (2024 and 2025) for Italian cooking that earns its place in Warsaw's increasingly serious restaurant scene. Sitting at the €€ price point on Górnośląska 24, it offers a focused approach to Italian menu architecture under chef Baptiste Borderie, quality ingredients, disciplined technique, and a room that reads as destination rather than convenience.
Sopot, Poland
Vinissimo gives Sopot a wine-led modern-cooking address rather than another resort-town dining room built around spectacle. Its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025, plus Star Wine List recognition in 2026, point to the same thing: a compact, trend-aware restaurant where a 400-bottle list, more than 60 by-the-glass pours, and restrained cooking carry equal weight.
Poland
Selected entries from the current guide for Poland.
Warsaw, Poland
Occupying a neoclassical landmark on Warsaw's Royal Route since 1857, Raffles Europejski Warsaw pairs 106 rooms and suites with Raffles Butler service, a grill restaurant overlooking Piłsudski Square, and the Long Bar cocktail programme. Recognised by La Liste Top Hotels 2026 with 93.5 points and named both Country Winner for Luxury Heritage Hotel and Continent Winner for Luxury Art Hotel, it anchors the upper tier of Warsaw's historic-address hotel market.
Kraków, Poland
A 16th-century townhouse on Kraków's oldest street, Hotel Copernicus holds 29 rooms across a carefully preserved Renaissance building steps from Wawel Castle. Rates from US$209 per night place it among Poland's most competitively priced historic boutique hotels.
Zakopane, Poland
EN Hotel occupies a repurposed historical structure inside Tatra National Park, placing it in a development-restricted zone that most Zakopane visitors never reach. With 15 rooms, a hyper-local restaurant, and a small spa, it operates at a price point of around $143 per night, low for the access it provides. Guests arrive by the hotel's designated driver; no private cars enter the reserve after dusk.
Szklarska Poręba, Poland
A landmark inn dating to 1894, Jaskółka Dom i Spa occupies a high mountain slope in Szklarska Poręba, with eight rooms whose verandas look out across pine forest and snowcapped peaks. The building carries a long and varied history, convent, government facility, boutique hotel, and its current form balances original coffered ceilings and Viennese chandeliers with rooms that run from airy apartment suites to moody, midnight-blue quarters. Rates start at $492 per night.
Gdynia, Poland
A Relais & Châteaux property inside an 18th-century Baltic estate outside Gdynia, Hotel Quadrille pairs an adults-only format with an Alice in Wonderland interior concept, checkerboard floors, velvet armchairs, whimsical installations, and a twelve-course plant-based tasting menu. With 32 rooms named after literary figures and rates from US$116 per night, it occupies a position unlike most Polish luxury hotels.
Warsaw, Poland
Recognised by La Liste 2026 with 95 points and three category wins, including Luxury Gourmet Hotel and Luxury Design Boutique Hotel, it positions itself at the upper end of Warsaw's hotel market, combining a calm, design-led environment with the group's signature dining programme.
Wrocław, Poland
A 19th-century palace at the edge of Wrocław's Old Town, Hotel Altus Palace pairs ornate neoclassical architecture with contemporary interiors across 81 rooms and suites. Rates from around $92 place it in the accessible tier of Wrocław's historic hotel category. The in-house restaurant, Wierzbowa 15, runs a pan-European menu, and a spa sits in the lower floors.
Ciekocinko, Poland
A restored aristocratic manor on nearly 2,000 acres of forested parkland in northern Poland, Pałac Ciekocinko sits roughly an hour from Gdańsk and minutes from the Baltic coast. Its 39 rooms and suites span the main palace and a converted carriage house, with a working equestrian centre, Institut Esthederm spa, and two distinct restaurants on site. Rates from $127 per night place it within reach of travellers who want Polish countryside scale without a metropolitan price tag.
Łeba, Poland
A early twentieth-century castle on Poland's Baltic coast, Zamek Łeba sits between the shoreline and the shifting dunes of Słowiński National Park with 40 individually decorated rooms priced from $159 per night. The building's history as a wellness retreat shapes the experience: no elevator, vintage tubs, and a restaurant serving Polish classics like smoked sturgeon and red borscht. Winter bonfires on the snow-covered beach are among the more arresting details.
Zakopane, Poland
On Krupówki, Zakopane's central promenade, Bachleda Residence occupies a position that few mountain hotels can match: 128 rooms finished in local wood, sandstone, and granite, with Tatra and Gubałówka Range views from the deluxe tier. The on-site restaurant covers Polish and European cooking, and the address puts the high-altitude town's main drag directly underfoot.
Kraków, Poland
A neo-baroque palace on Świętego Jana street, H15 Palace carries four centuries of Lubomirski family history into a 70-room luxury hotel where period architecture meets deliberate contemporary design. Rates from $239 place it in the serious upper tier of Kraków's Old Town hotel market, and the property's gastronomic restaurant and bistro are woven into the city's culinary conversation rather than positioned merely as in-house amenities.
Warsaw, Poland
A Luxury Collection member occupying Warsaw's Royal Route since 1901, Hotel Bristol pairs its neo-Renaissance façade with Art Nouveau interiors restored after a 12 million Euro renovation in 2013. The 206-room hotel sits beside the Presidential Palace, steps from Old Town, and houses Café Bristol and the Column Bar among Warsaw's most storied dining and drinking addresses.
Kraków, Poland
A 14th-century edifice on Stradomska Street reimagined as a 125-room hotel, Stradom House holds one of Kraków's most layered addresses: a neighbourhood shaped by royal processions, monastic orders, and the slow accumulation of centuries. The rooms read as a deliberate counterpoint to the stone-clad streets below, and Hedwig's bar anchors an atmosphere that drifts between chapel, gallery, and drawing room.
Sienna, Poland
Heron Live Hotel holds a 2025 MICHELIN Selected distinction, placing it among a small cohort of recognised properties in Sienna, Poland. The hotel operates at Sienna 104, positioned within a region where design-led independent accommodation is less common than in Warsaw or Kraków. For travellers seeking a verified reference point in this part of Poland, it represents a credible base.
Warsaw, Poland
Mamaison Hotel Le Regina Warsaw earned 95.5 points in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking, placing it among a small tier of Warsaw properties recognised at the highest international level. Positioned in the Nowe Miasto district on Kościelna Street, the hotel occupies a restored palace building within walking distance of the Old Town, offering a location that few comparable Warsaw addresses can match.
Wrocław, Poland
Positioned on Cathedral Island, The Bridge MGallery Wroclaw holds dual recognition as Regional Winner for Luxury Eco Hotel and Country Winner for Luxury Business Hotel. Its setting on Ostrów Tumski, the oldest part of Wrocław, places it at some distance from the city's commercial hotel cluster, which makes it a distinct choice for travellers who want proximity to Gothic architecture and quieter surroundings rather than the Old Town market square.
Zakopane, Poland
This hostel-style chalet at the foot of the Tatra Mountains in Zakopane hosted more than five million guests as a Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society lodge before it was transformed into the luxurious Aries Hotel & Spa. This quaint, often snow-covered New Westphalian-style landmark still has many of the features that made it popular with generations of hikers, inviting interiors with exposed timber beams and stone fireplaces, a cozy café and bar, and abundant mountain views. But these days, its rooms and suites are both functional and fashionable, with sustainable Hypnos beds, richly textured carpets, and decor inspired by local craft traditions. Sweetening the deal is an elegant wood-framed spa with a light-filled indoor pool and a pair of stone-lined outdoor Jacuzzis.
Kraków, Poland
Bachleda Kraków - MGallery occupies a prime position at Plac Kossaka, selected by the 2025 Michelin Guide for hotels. Part of Accor's design-led MGallery collection, it places itself in Kraków's upper tier of international-brand properties, where address, atmosphere, and attentive service matter as much as the room itself.
Kraków, Poland
Balthazar Design Hotel occupies a position on ul. Grodzka that few properties in Kraków can match: a medieval street connecting the Main Market Square directly to Wawel Castle. Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, it operates in the design-led boutique tier rather than the grand palace category, making it a considered alternative for travellers who want Old Town access without the scale of Kraków's larger heritage hotels.
Zakopane, Poland
Biała Owca is a Michelin Selected hotel in Zakopane, Poland's high-altitude resort town at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. The property sits on Bogdańskiego street, placing guests within reach of the trails, thermal spas, and highland culture that define the town's appeal as a year-round mountain retreat. Michelin recognition signals a level of care that separates it from the broader mid-market hotel stock in the area.
Poznań, Poland
Blow Up Hall at Ul Kosciuszki 42 occupies a converted space in central Poznań, earning Michelin Selected recognition in the 2025 hotel guide. The property sits in the design-led tier of the city's accommodation market, where art-forward interiors and a considered guest experience distinguish it from the standard business-hotel formula. For travellers arriving in Poland's fifth-largest city, it represents a calibrated alternative to chain properties.
Sasino, Poland
A Michelin Selected property on Poland's Baltic coast, Cisowy Zakątek sits in the pine-fringed village of Sasino, roughly 80 kilometres west of Gdańsk. The address places it within the quieter, nature-oriented tier of Pomeranian accommodation, removed from the beach-resort crowds of Łeba or the urban density of Sopot. Michelin recognition signals a standard of hospitality that few properties along this stretch of coastline can match.
Poznań, Poland
City Park Hotel & Residence sits on Stanisława Wyspiańskiego street in Poznań and carries a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction, placing it in a compact tier of Polish city hotels where design and spatial quality are the primary differentiators. The property offers both hotel rooms and residence-format accommodation, making it a practical choice for stays of varying length. For a full picture of where it sits among Poznań's options, the comparison with design-led peers is instructive.
Poznań, Poland
City Solei holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction in the 2025 Michelin Hotels guide, placing it among a curated tier of Poznań properties recognised for quality and character. Located on ul. Wenecjańska 10, it occupies a quieter residential address that positions it differently from the city-centre convention hotels. For travellers seeking a considered, lower-volume stay in Poland's western commercial capital, it warrants attention.
Poland
Selected entries from the current guide for Poland.
Warsaw, Poland
Kontakt arrived on Warsaw's Sandomierska in early 2025 carrying the low-intervention wine bar energy familiar from Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen, and earned back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025 for doing so at a single euro-sign price point. The Mediterranean kitchen keeps things casual and produce-led, making this one of the more interesting arrivals in the city's mid-market dining scene.
Warsaw, Poland
A relaxed natural-wine bar in Warsaw's Praga Północ district, Blisko pairs low-intervention bottles with Neapolitan-style pizza and seasonal small plates. Exposed brick, communal seating, and charming service make this a neighbourhood anchor for approachable, on-trend drinking and eating.
Kraków, Poland
Nat Bistro puts Kraków’s natural-wine conversation into a rustic Old Town room, with whitewashed brick, a semi-vaulted ceiling and cooking that leans generous rather than precious. The draw is the sourcing logic: Polish porcini, full-flavoured plates and an orange-and-natural wine list that makes the food feel rooted in place rather than imported as a trend.
Warsaw, Poland
Grono Mokotowska occupies just 30 square metres on one of Warsaw's most characterful streets, operating as a wine bar with an orthodox, format-first approach that treats spatial constraint as a design asset rather than a limitation. The compressed interior has been carefully considered, with the compact footprint shaping everything from the selection on offer to the pace at which an evening unfolds. For Warsaw's wine bar circuit, it sits at the more intimate, specialist end of the spectrum.
Warsaw, Poland
Lalou Wine Bar sits in Warsaw's Wola district, operating from a contemporary building on Krochmalna Street after a four-year run as a wine shop and tasting room. The pivot to a full wine bar format marks a meaningful shift in how the space engages with its audience, placing it inside a growing tier of specialist wine destinations reshaping Warsaw's drinking culture.
Kraków, Poland
Ranked #483 in the Top 500 Bars (2025), Mercy Brown occupies a measured position in Kraków's cocktail scene from its address on Straszewskiego, a street that has quietly become one of the city's more serious drinking corridors.
Poznań, Poland
The address points toward a serious bottle shop and bar hybrid rather than a casual pour-and-go, with a selection depth that earns trade-level recognition. For anyone building a cellar or seeking informed guidance on Polish and imported wine, it warrants a direct visit.
Warsaw, Poland
One of Warsaw's earliest dedicated wine venues, Mielżyński na Burakowskiej sits in the Wola district near Powązki Cemetery, drawing a committed crowd of wine drinkers who treat it as a reference point rather than a casual stop. The Mielżyński name carries weight across Polish wine culture, and the Burakowska address delivers that same depth of list in a neighbourhood that rewards those willing to look beyond the city centre.
Warsaw, Poland
The second Warsaw outpost of Robert Mielżyński sits in Mokotów on Czerska Street, running around fifteen tables with sightlines into an open kitchen. Where the original built its name on wine retail and hospitality in Poznań, this address leans into the wine-bar format proper, placing serious bottles alongside food in a neighbourhood that rewards that kind of focused ambition.
Żółwin, Poland
Podkowa Wine Depot holds a Star Wine List award (2026), placing it among a small tier of recognised wine destinations in the Warsaw metropolitan area. Located in Żółwin at Nadarzyńska 4, it operates as a specialist wine venue at a remove from the capital's central bar scene, a format that tends to attract serious drinkers over casual crowds.
Warsaw, Poland
Rausz on Wilcza 27 is a Warsaw wine shop and bar built around an unfashionable premise: serious producers at accessible prices. In a city where natural wine bars tend to run expensive or precious, Rausz operates with a low-key register that makes it a genuine neighbourhood fixture rather than a destination performance.
Poznań, Poland
Uniesienie Wine Bar holds a Star Wine List recognition for 2026, placing it among a select tier of wine-focused venues in Poznań. Located on Strzeszyńska in the western districts, it draws guests who prioritise list depth and curation over nightlife spectacle. For wine-serious visitors to Poznań, it represents a calibrated alternative to the city centre scene.
Warsaw, Poland
Vinoteka 13 occupies the fourth floor of Vitkac, Warsaw's art-integrated shopping mall on Bracka Street, as part of the Likus hospitality group's portfolio. The setting places wine culture inside a retail and cultural space, making it a distinct point on Warsaw's drinking circuit for those who treat a glass of wine as the destination rather than a preamble.
Warsaw, Poland
Wine First holds a Star Wine List award (2026), placing it among a select tier of Warsaw wine bars that compete on curation and depth rather than atmosphere alone. Located on Żelazna in the Wola district, it operates where an industrial neighbourhood is actively reconsidering its identity, making it a useful indicator of where Warsaw's serious wine scene is currently anchoring itself.
Katowice, Poland
Art Katowice occupies a address on Warszawska 33 in the heart of Silesia's most creatively charged city. The venue sits within a dining scene that has shifted decisively toward ingredient-led cooking, positioning it alongside a cohort of Katowice restaurants that treat sourcing as a primary editorial statement. For visitors tracking Poland's evolving restaurant culture outside Warsaw and Kraków, it belongs on the itinerary.
Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw's contemporary bistro where maple-glazed oyster mushrooms meet labneh and dill on a concise menu that draws from Mediterranean and Levantine traditions while nodding to Polish elements. The minimalist interior and colourful, texture-driven plates reflect the globetrotting ethos of modern Warsaw dining—fresh contrasts on every plate.
Kraków, Poland
TAG occupies a corner of Kraków's old city fortifications district at Podwale 7, operating in the mid-to-upper tier of the city's modern dining scene. The restaurant draws visitors and locals navigating Kraków's increasingly competitive restaurant roster, where tasting-format and à la carte menus now coexist across a range of price points and culinary references. For context on how TAG sits within that broader field, see our full Kraków restaurants guide.
Kraków, Poland
Wierzynek occupies a medieval townhouse on Kraków's Rynek Główny, one of Europe's largest market squares, and carries a reputation stretching back centuries as a site of significant formal dining.

Warsaw, Poland
Status is under verification after conflicting public sources checked on 2026-06-22. Live contact, rating, FAQ and schema details are withheld until the venue status is confirmed.
Kraków, Poland
Eszeweria occupies a quiet address on Józefa Street in Kraków's Kazimierz district, operating as one of the neighbourhood's more focused spirits venues. The back bar leans toward depth over breadth, with curation that reflects a collector's instinct rather than a generalist list. For visitors treating Kazimierz as a serious drinking destination, it belongs in the same conversation as the district's established bars.
Kraków, Poland
Piwnica Pod Baranami occupies a vaulted cellar beneath the Pałac Pod Baranami on Kraków's main square, Rynek Główny 27. One of the Old Town's most recognisable gathering points, it has served as a cabaret stage, a drinking institution, and a neighbourhood anchor for decades. For anyone tracing Kraków's social history through its bars, this is where that thread begins.

Selected entries from the current guide for Poland.
Łańcut, Poland
The address alone signals industrial heritage, and the recognition places it in a narrow tier of Polish producers whose craft is being taken seriously on an international editorial level.
Katy Wroc Awskie, Poland
Adoria Vineyards gives Lower Silesian wine a clear, contemporary reference point: a small estate south of Wrocław working with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and traditional-method sparkling wine. Founded in 2005, it is strongest as a tasting and education stop, with guided vineyard and cellar formats in English or Polish and a relaxed countryside setting.
Gmina Banie, Poland
Winnica Turnau gives Polish wine tourism a serious rural anchor in Gmina Banie, with vineyard views, a renovated 19th-century agricultural building, and guided tastings built around cool-climate varieties. The draw is terroir rather than spectacle: Solaris, Johanniter, Riesling, Hibernal, Seyval blanc and Rondo frame a producer working across white, rosé, red and sparkling styles.
