Wine Tastings in Wrocław
Dominika picks the wines. Tomek cooks the food to match. You drink, eat, guess, and talk. From 190 PLN per person.
Blind tasting
Six glasses, no labels. One grape variety — four regions. You're looking for common ground between them. Acidity, fruit, structure — what makes Gamay taste like Gamay whether it grows in Beaujolais, the Loire, or Savoie.
You discuss with the person next to you. Dominika listens, doesn't hint. At the end, she reveals everything — and suddenly it all makes sense. Three small plates from Tomek arrive between flights.
The best way to learn about wine? Don't read about it. Drink it and guess. Half the guests get 2 out of 6 right. That's exactly why it's fun.
You don't need to know anything about wine. You just need to enjoy guessing.
Come alone, with someone, or with someone new. A blind tasting is an evening you'll remember — because you learn, talk, and laugh all at once. Stay after for a glass, or take a bottle home.
Wine & small plates · 190 PLN/person
5-6 wines selected by Dominika around a theme — a region, a grape, a style. With each glass, a small plate from Tomek: seasonal ingredients, simple forms, flavours that lift what's in the glass.
About two hours. Groups of 6 to 14. The format can be open (anyone buys a seat) or private (you book the whole group).
This isn't a hotel wine workshop — it's an evening at a restaurant where the sommelier and the chef work together.
Tasting dinner · 290 PLN/person
Four courses from Tomek's seasonal menu. Dominika pairs each one — not as an afterthought, but as part of the same dish. White asparagus with Jurançon. Game with Moulin-à-Vent. Cheese with Vin Jaune.
Three hours. Groups of 6-14. Perfect for an anniversary, birthday, or an evening that should feel special without being stiff.
Connoisseur evening · 390 PLN/person
For those who already know they love wine — and want to go deeper. 6-7 premium wines, 5 courses, an intimate group of 4-8. Dominika leads a conversation, not a lecture. Tomek cooks to match specific bottles.
A format for people looking for something they won't find anywhere else in Wrocław.
Private & corporate tastings
Team building, partner meetings, company events — or simply an evening that should look exactly the way you want. Dominika designs the format, Tomek builds the menu. Groups of 8-25, VAT invoice, option to book the entire restaurant exclusively.
Example tasting themes
Every tasting is different. Dominika selects wines for the group and occasion. Some of our favourite themes:
Alpine wines: Savoie & Jura — Jacquère, Savagnin, Mondeuse, Poulsard. Wines from regions nobody's heard of. Mountain-grown, mineral, surprising.
One grape, four countries — Gamay from Beaujolais, the Loire, Savoie, and Switzerland. Same grape, completely different wine. Blind tasting in its purest form.
Orange & skin-contact wines — what are they, really? Where does the colour come from? Why do some taste like tea and others like peach? Dominika explains without jargon.
France vs the rest of the world — blind tasting: 3 glasses from France, 3 from elsewhere. Guess which is which. Harder than you think.
Grapes you've never heard of — Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, Jacquère, Savagnin. Wines you won't find in a supermarket.
You don't need to know about wine
We keep saying this because people worry. You don't need to know anything. Half of the people who come to our tastings have never tried natural wine before. That's exactly the point — to discover together, at your own pace, without pressure. Dominika doesn't test you. She pours, explains, and talks.
