Taste Albanian wines, raki, local snacks, and enjoy a private lake boat ride on a half-day tour from Tirana or Durres.
“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. During the trip, he only talked about himself and his favorite cars instead of discussing the country and its history—or he could have simply been quiet. While driving, he constantly checked his phone and watched YouTube for music, which was very dangerous. Then, at the winery, he introduced us to an unprofessional guide who spoke for barely 10 minutes about the winery's history and production process. I expected more: a demonstration of wine tasting, how to appreciate different wine aromas, and…”

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.

“The excursion worked well. I was alone with a nice and talkative guide and the winery was pitoresque. Driving there was ok and the host at the winery was wonderful. Be careful when booking though. Viator displayed the currency in PLN (Poland) instead of ALL (Albania). So the excursion was another price than I thought since I did not notice the wrong currency when booking...”
