Pinecone Cottage Tea House – The Highlander’s Yuletide – A Winter Karczma Experience
Welcome to our Winter Karczma or tavern, where the warmth, hospitality, and cherished traditions of a Polish Highlander Christmas come to life. I crafted this menu by drawing directly from my family’s roots, recipes and stories in the beautiful, snow-capped region of Zywiec, Poland. Enjoy a cozy, three course journey through the smoke, spice, and spirit of a traditional Highlander Christmas here at Pinecone Cottage.
