Your tour starts with a comfy drive from Tirana. We will pick you up at your hotel or in our meeting point. You’ll see the city views change to pretty hills and green vineyards as you head to a charming, family-owned winery. These estates often have generations of winemaking history, right in the heart of Albania’s wine region.
When you arrive, your hosts will give you a warm welcome. You’ll then get a guided tour of the vineyard, walking among the rows of vines. You’ll learn about the special local grapes, like Shesh i Zi or Kallmet and how they grow. Plus, you’ll hear about their Earth-friendly farming methods. After the vineyard stroll, you’ll explore the winery and cellar. You’ll see how grapes become wine, from crushing to aging in barrels. It’s fascinating to see the care and passion that make these Albanian wines so unique.
Now the best part: an amazing wine tasting. You’ll get to try four excellent wines, specially picked to show off the winery’s best. Your friendly host will guide you, explaining what makes each wine special: its smells and tastes. This lovely tasting comes with a generous and truly delicious traditional Albanian lunch. You’ll enjoy dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. Think crisp salads, tasty appetizers, slow-cooked meats (a classic Albanian meal!) and a sweet dessert to finish. To top it all off, you’ll even get a glass of Raki, Albania’s famous fruit brandy.
After your satisfying lunch and wine experience, the adventure continues at a beautiful lake nearby, known for its calm and natural beauty. Here, you get to choose your afternoon fun. You can grab a paddle for an exciting kayak tour, exploring the calm waters and hidden spots for a close-up feel of nature. It’s great if you like a bit of activity. Or, you can pick a peaceful boat ride. Just sit back, relax and let the gentle sway of the boat and the stunning scenery wash over you. This is perfect for just enjoying nature without any effort.
Feeling refreshed, happy and full of unique memories, your guide will ensure a smooth and comfy trip back to Tirana. You’ll arrive back in the evening, carrying cherished memories of wonderful Albanian wine, authentic food, beautiful nature and maybe even a new favorite wine! This truly is a perfect day out, mixing great flavors with peaceful natural beauty.
