Podkarpacie is one of the polish provinces, situated in the south- east of Poland with a mountain landscape. Due to the natural conditions, it is famous for rural tourism, sport tourism (skiing, cycling) and heritage tourism. The latest trend in the industry as well as in tourism in Podkarpacie Region is based on wine. Podkarpacie is not known as a wine region yet, although it has always good conditions for viniculture. Winemaking had its beginnings in the Middle Ages, when wine was produced for monastery needs. Winemaking traditions have been decreasing since the 17th century and disappeared after the II World War1. The renaissance of winemaking traditions has started after 1982, when one of the most famous Polish vineyards, Golesz Vineyard, was established2. Vineyards were usually established because of the hobby and interest of winemakers.
