For the past dozen years, Poland Culinary Vacations has provided travelers with authentic experiences in the Central European country where Malgorzata “Sarna” Rose grew up. True to its name, the company offers highly crafted culinary-focused itineraries that take clients to every region of the nation.

“Our immersive, small-group experiences go off the beaten path into the countryside of Poland to small towns and villages,” says Rose. “[That] is my favorite thing to share with my North American travelers.”

While the food and drink take center stage on every itinerary, Rose has worked to gradually add a range of luxury components. As part of her “Five Days with Polish Wine…” series, which includes tours that go to various Polish wine regions, accomodations can include four- and five-star properties.

“Visitors to Poland have the option of spending their nights at luxury hotels in the cities or in elegant castles, palaces, or manors with world-class spa and wellness experiences in idyllic rural Polish villages,” says Rose.

She also can work with individual travelers on high-end private programs, which blend fine dining, sightseeing, and VIP experiences, or customize existing tours based on the special interests of group members.

“Poland Culinary Vacations has always specialized in small groups—minimum 6 to maximum 12 guests—and we will continue with that focus going forward, “ says Rose. “We encourage families and private groups to book custom vacations with us as we resume travel with COVID-19 still around.”
