Meet your English-speaking driver at the central Visit Albania Tour Operator office, then visit one family-run winery near Berat. Guides such as Igi, Olsi, Ervis, and the Professor explain local grapes and production before three wines, raki, and regional snacks are served.

The winery itself was a great experience and the wine testing topped it with a lovely selection of local cheeses and antipasti. The wines themselves were premium quality. Overall, it was a great trip. We highly recommend it. 5*s”

Travel from Tirana or Durres to a vineyard beside a blue-green lake. Tour the cellar, taste merlot, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, homemade raki, and Albanian snacks, then take a boat ride. Rio handles the drive, while Elena may lead the winery visit.

“The driver picked us up from Tirana, but we waited for almost an hour because he blamed the traffic jam. I believe better planning could have avoided this delay.

While driving, he constantly checked his phone and watched YouTube for music, which was very dangerous.

The guides and the family are really knowledgeable and acts as if you were a part of family. They are really hospitable and overall pleasant people to be around to. The wine tasting was amazing too! So much wine and rakija available and plenty of appetizers which are locally produced. Would definitely recommend this tour. Although it might seem weird to go on a tour with only you and your travel buddy, it was not awkward at all! Thank you for the amazing time!…”

We visited the laboratory, distillery, bottling, then we at highlight of the tour, we tasted different kinds of liquor, alcohol that's produced there! We chatted over the drinks, about Albanian culture, history, politics, wine business. We bought a few bottles back as Albanian wines are hard to find in super markets.
