Venture beyond the city into the rolling, lake-dotted Kashubian Highlands — Gdańsk's enchanting rural hinterland — for a hands-on session with a master ceramicist and a rare tasting at a heritage forest distillery.
What to expect
A private driver takes you 45 minutes west into the Kashubian landscape, arriving at a family-run workshop where you try your hand at decorating stoneware using traditional Kashubian blue-flower motifs under the master potter's guidance — you take your piece home. Lunch is a farm table affair: beet żurek soup, smoked meats, and wild-mushroom pierogi. The afternoon heads deeper into the forest to a small-batch distillery producing Gdańsk's legendary Goldwasser and herbal nalewka liqueurs, with a guided tasting flight. You're back in the city with hours to spare.
Good to know
Total excursion time is approx. 5–6 hours, leaving comfortable buffer before all-aboard. All transport is private. The ceramic workshop is family-friendly. Confirm the distillery tasting is for adults (18+). Book at least 1–2 weeks ahead as local artisans have limited capacity.
