Our wine adventure begins with Julia Vineyard and the Miniature Park of Wine Facilities, located in Stary Kisielin at 15 Pionierów Lubuskich Street, just a few kilometers from the center of Zielona Góra. This place combines wine tradition with education and entertainment, making it an ideal starting point for families with children.

To reach Julia Vineyard, it's best to use a car or bicycle - the route is well marked and leads along scenic roads through suburban areas. For those who prefer public transportation, city buses running from the center of Zielona Gora are available - it's worth checking the current schedule in advance.

Julia Vineyard is open to the public all year round, but the best time to visit is from May to October, when the vines are in full beauty. A tour of the winery and wine tasting costs about $30 per person (as of 2024), but prices are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check current information on the winery's official website: https://winnicajulia.pl/.

What distinguishes Julia Winery? First of all, its owners, Mr. Roman and his brother, who passionately talk about wine production and the history of winemaking in the region. During your visit, you can not only taste local wines, such as 'Julia', 'Emma' and 'Anna', but also see what the process of making them looks like. Particularly interesting is a walk through the vineyard, where you can see different varieties of grapes and even taste them straight from the vine (with the owners' permission, of course!).

The Miniature Park of Winery Objects is a unique attraction that presents the history of winemaking in an interesting way. Although the park is not large, you will find miniatures of the most important objects related to wine production, which can be fascinating for both children and adults.

For families with children, Julia Winery has prepared special attractions. The youngest can take part in a 'mini-tasting' of grape juices, and learn about the winemaking process in a form suitable for their age. There is also a picnic area on the vineyard grounds, where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful views.

It is worth remembering that it is best to plan your visit to Julia Winery in advance, especially if you want to attend a tasting. This can be done by phone or through the form on the website. Also remember to wear comfortable footwear - walking through the vineyard is a pleasure, but requires proper preparation.

There are several other interesting places worth visiting in the vicinity of Julia Vineyard. Take a look at the nearby Lubuskie Wine Center, which offers an interactive exhibition on the history and culture of wine in the region. This is a great complement to the knowledge gained at Julia Winery.

Another important point on our wine map is the Lubuskie Wine Center, located in Zabór at 1 Winery Street. This is a modern educational and museum center that presents the rich history and culture of wine-making in the Lubuskie region in an interactive way.

What should you know before visiting Lubuskie Wine Center and Zelazny Winery? First of all, plan enough time - visiting both places can take a whole day. It's a good idea to bring comfortable shoes for walking around the winery and something warmer to wear - it can be chilly in the wine cellars. For families with children, we recommend bringing snacks and drinks - walking around the winery can be tiring for the little ones.
