While in Sandomierz, it is definitely worth noting the flavours that surround you, and among the regional products, a few definitely stand out. The first is cider, but this is hardly surprising as the Sandomierz region is famous for its fruit, especially apples. Other products are not so obvious, although they have a tradition. The first one to consider when planning a visit to Sandomierz and its surroundings is wine. There are quite a few vineyards here, and the first one awaits you in the heart of the city - right next to St James' Church. A glass of wine with a view of Sandomierz Castle tastes delicious, and there is plenty to choose from!
The Nadwiślańska Vineyard, located, as the name suggests, on the banks of Poland's longest river, on the edge of the Pieprzowe Mountains, Winnica nad Jarem located among fruit orchards or the Płochocki Family Vineyard, where some wines are made in special vats modelled on those of Georgia. It is worth knowing that they are considered to be some of the oldest wine-making vessels in the world! However, there are many more vineyards in the Sandomierz area, and a large proportion of them are concentrated on the Sandomierz Wine Route.
Speaking of wine, the question arises, what does wine go perfectly with? Cheese, of course! And in this case the Sandomierz area has something to say! The Sandomierz cheeses produced by "Dziedzic" in Drygulec are a pure poetry of taste. You can buy them not only on site at the cheese factory itself, but also in shops in and around Sandomierz and in the online shop.
If, after a successful holiday in Sandomierz, you miss their taste, just pull out a bottle of wine you bought on your trip and order a set of cheeses online - the memories of your enjoyable time will surely come back to you!
Interestingly, Sandomierz is recognised as the world capital of striped flint. It is in this city that extraordinary works of goldsmithing using flint are created. It also has a reference in the aforementioned cheese dairy. One of the flagship cheeses that are produced there is the Striped Flint. The beautiful, long-ripened cheese with unparalleled black and white stripes is impressive and simply delicious. The beech wood ash and liquorice added in production give it a unique flavour and aroma.
So it doesn't matter if you're a fan of history, archaeology, wine, active leisure or something else! Sandomierz is a place worth visiting!
