Krakow: Tyniec Monastery Tour with Wine Tasting｜Poland

Meet your guide and explore the Tyniec Monastery, founded almost 1,000 years ago. Discover the role of the monastery as a meeting place and its significance for contemporary European society.

Reflect on the place of the Benedictine monastery in today's social and cultural context: the globalization of the world and, at the same time, the deepening separatisms, the increasing pace of life, a kind of overgrowth of social forms and communication, the paradoxes of "anonymity/loneliness on the net".

Learn about the idea of the 'monastery as a place of encounter', and how it can be read as a proposal for the monastery to be a place of exchange, that is, a meeting between a still vital Christianity and various forms of 'post-Christian' culture increasingly less interested in remembering its roots.

Sample local wines and cider at a vineyard of Tyniec. Learn the history of the vineyard, and how the owners bring their prize-winning experience of working in vineyards and wineries on four continents. See the organic farm methods they use, and the variety of plants they maintain besides grapes for wine.
