Maciek Murzyniec

Wine as narrative

Intuitive, bold and deeply aware — Maciek constructs the wine experience as a narrative. From expressive orange wines, through delicate reds, to raw, lively pét-nats — always with intention and a clear emotional arc for the guest. His style combines knowledge with accessibility, creating an atmosphere where conversations about wine are natural, engaging and alive.

For over a decade professionally connected to the world of wine. Five years as head sommelier at Karakter, eight years with importer Naturaliści, developing knowledge and experience in natural wines. A relentless seeker of winemaking unicorns and a passionate advocate of French natural wines, though equally happy to reach for bottles from all corners of the world.

He sees the greatest value in getting to know wine directly — through travel and meetings with producers. Currently head sommelier at Kropka, where you can try wines from his curated list honoured by the Michelin guide with the grape distinction — awarded to only two restaurants in Kraków.
