ITINERARY

Day 1 — WARSAW, Welcome Dinner
POLISH BREAD
One cannot overestimate the meaning of bread in Polish cuisine and tradition. It has been an essential part of them both for centuries. Now the variety of different bread types available at the nearest grocer's is taken for granted. But in the past ages time of hardship often struck, and bread was treated with great respect. It was visible in folk customs. When bread fell to the ground, it was immediately picked up and kissed. A new loaf was marked with the sign of the cross before cutting. And important guests to the house were greeted with bread and salt. To keep the Polish tradition you will be welcomed with a loaf of bread and salt.

THE SOUND OF POLISH MUSIC
Following private Frederic Chopin music piano recital to be held in one of beautiful palace interiors of Warsaw. No-one else in the history of Polish music has so creatively used folk rhythms polonez, mazurek, oberek, kujawiak for concert pieces and no-one else has achieved such international recognition. Welcome dinner at a local restaurant with vodka tasting ceremony and presentation of cocktails based on different kinds of vodka.
THE MEANING OF PASSION FOR COOKING
The restaurant we will take you to is owned by Magda Gessler. She is a an artist, painter, designer but most of all Poland’s famous restauranteur. She is the creator, owner or co-owner of numerous restaurants in Warsaw (including U Fukiera, Ale Gloria, Polka, Słodki…Słony, Zielnik) and in other Polish cities. In her restaurants she creates special romantic atmosphere, she pays particular attention to all decoration details like flowers, tablecloths, wallpapers. The food is superb.

That’s why you will have the chance not only to degustate delicious dishes but also spend your evening in a charming ambience.
VODKA TASTING
End your evening with Polish vodka tasting. Just as France is famous for its champagne, so vodka has been Poland’s most important drink for centuries. Produced in a thousand ways for the last thousand years, this drink holds an important place in the Polish tradition.

They are baked mostly once in the year on St. Marcin’s Name Day and are stuffed with poppy and nuts. For degustation you will be invited to one of the most famous restaurants called Brovaria as they cultivate the tradition of medieval beer-producing inns, replaced in the 19th century, due to Industrial Revolution, with more efficient industrial breweries. However, such places were preserved in some European countries having rich brewery traditions (Belgium, Germany, Great Britain). The second half of the 20th century witnessed the revival of restaurant breweries, popularized by the British, Germans and Americans. Initially they were opened at large breweries, which guaranteed freshly brewed beer.
The first restaurant brewery in Poland was opened in Wroclaw in the 1990s. Brovaria Beers combine traditional decoction with the use of modern, high-quality equipment. That perfect combination of tradition and technology allows us to re-create the flavour of “the old, good” beer. These beers are naturally cloudy and unpasteurized. They don’t undergo filtration and pasteurization process, which makes them full of flavour and aroma. Brovaria Beers are produced with selected mixtures of malt. We flavour them with carefully prepared bittering and aromatic hop, grown on the best Polish and German plantations. Brovaria Beers are served exclusively in our restaurant, which guarantees their freshness and highest quality.
