Tour Overview

Raki is the drink of Albania, and Berat pours it the traditional way. This tasting gives you seven different rakis, made from grapes, plums, mulberries and more, with a host who tells you what each one is and where it comes from.

What comes with it? Meze, the small plates that go with raki: cheese, olives, cured meats and byrek. The food and the drink are paired so each raki sits next to the right bite, the way Albanians have always done it.

Who is it for? Anyone over 18 who wants a local break while exploring Berat. It is relaxed and friendly, good for couples and small groups, and easy to add to a day in the town of a thousand windows. Ages 18 and over.

What food is included?

Traditional meze — local cheeses, cured meats, olives and pickles — paired with the rakis throughout.

How long is it?

About 1.75 to 2 hours — seven tastes is generous, so it is one to take slowly.

Is there an option for non-drinkers?

Yes — soft alternatives are provided, and the meze spread alone is worth the seat.

Where is it held?

At a central venue in Berat; the exact address is sent the day before. There is no hotel pickup.

Is there a minimum age?

Yes — you must be of legal drinking age to taste. Younger guests are welcome for the meze.

Can I pair it with another activity?

Yes — it pairs naturally with the Berat day trip, an Osum rafting day, or simply a night in Berat’s old quarters.
