Number of Vineyards and Production
In the 2024/2025 season, there are 699 registered vineyards in Poland, marking a record increase of 132 compared to the previous season (567). Among them, 503 winemakers declare production and sale of wine. The officially planted area is about 900 ha, although unofficial estimates suggest it may reach 1200 ha or even 1500 ha counting new plantations.
Popular Grape Varieties
Among white varieties, Solaris is the clear leader, especially cultivated in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Other popular varieties include Riesling, Johanniter, Hibernal, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Bianka, Muscaris, and Aurora. Among red varieties, Regent dominates (particularly in Lesser Poland), followed by Pinot Noir, Cabernet Cortis, Rondo, and hybrid PIWI varieties such as Maréchal Foch, Dornfelder, Zweigelt, Merlot, and Gamay.
Wine Production and Development Climate
Polish winemaking mainly focuses on quality production — white, red, sparkling, rosé wines, and increasingly orange wines (skin-fermented). The production process in small vineyards lasts from several months up to two years, which influences the higher price of the finished product.

It is hard to choose just one vineyard considering the diversity and continuous development of Polish winemaking. Despite the small area planted with grapevines, projects in Poland are varied and unique.
