This study assesses the impact of geological and soil conditions on viticulture and enotourism development amidst a changing Central European climate, using the rural commune of Hazlach, southern Poland, as a case study. Our aim was to determine how environmental parameters contribute to productive terroir and what role they play in the spatial and landscape transformation of rural areas. Presented methodological approach integrated a literature analysis, a comparative analysis of established wine regions in Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, and a detailed case study of Hazlach. This allowed for a standardized evaluation of soil and terrain characteristics, as well as climatic data. Results underscore the critical role of loose, well-drained, moderately fertile soils with specific mineral compositions in supporting vine growth, particularly in marginal climatic zones. Climate warming has become a key enabling factor, expanding viticultural potential into previously unsuitable areas. Furthermore, soil structure and microtopography significantly impact root development, crop quality, and yield consistency. The study demonstrates that the synergy of soil quality, terrain, and local climate is paramount for viticultural viability. These findings not only support the targeted expansion of vineyards in nascent regions but also emphasize how natural conditions shape a region’s physical and socio-cultural landscape and land use, ultimately solidifying its identity as an emerging enotouristic destination.
