Full description
Escape the city and head into the rolling countryside near Durrës for a wine experience rooted in tradition.
Walk through sun-drenched vineyards where local grape varieties are cultivated using techniques passed down for generations. Step inside the winery cellar to see how Albanian wine is produced from grape to barrel and hear the real stories behind the craft.
Taste a selection of locally produced wines and traditional raki, paired with regional specialties like fresh cheese, olives, and homemade bread. Along the way, learn how winemaking in Albania dates back to Illyrian times and how it survived decades of isolation during the communist era.
The experience continues with a peaceful boat ride on the lake, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills a moment to slow down, take photos, and simply enjoy the landscape.
This is not just a tasting. It’s a cultural journey into Albania’s rural life, flavors, and history.

Customer reviews
First time in Albania and we had an amazing experience with Mario the pro tour guide going to winery. Best first day in Albania. We also had the unexpected company with a wonderful couple from Norway.
