So worth the experience. - Wow, what a great experience. Simon picked us up and we had a great visit with him. Meeting the owner, Stefan, the other support staff, Dragnova and Yohana were great. The tour was interesting and the wine and food experience amazing. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to dive into the culture more and learn about great wines.

Fantastic, Friendly Staff and an Unforgettable Experience. - Such a brilliant experience that really made our trip to Ohrid. They picked us up from the centre and were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the wines they had produced. They were also clearly very proud of what they were making and the entire night in the surroundings of the Ohrid mountains made it a truly amazing night! As wine tastings go, this was certainly amongst the best.

Our exceptional experience at Monastery Winery - Monastery winery is set amongst beautiful green valleys and mountains in the quiet countryside just out of Ohrid. The staff were wonderful - so helpful, generous with their time and information about their wines and our whole experience was exceptional. We would recommend going there if you have the opportunity.

Great time - We booked the wine tasting experience through TripAdvisor and it included pick up/drop of from our hotel in Ohrid. Really relaxing place in the forest, many great local wines made by people who love wine. Thanks so much for your hospitality, I definitely want to come again and would recommend this for anyone else visiting the area!

Incredible evening, exquisite wine, great atmosphere and lovely tour guides. - We had an amazing evening on this wine tasting tour, absolutely exquisite tasting wines throughout the evening and a very generous charcuterie board to compliment them too. The atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed, we learnt some really interesting information about the local wines and the processes involved in creating them. The team were all excellent particularly Simon and his wife who took care of us and made sure we had a really great evening. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Lake Ohrid or the nearby area in North Macedonia, well worth a visit for an amazing evening. (They also have 2 lovely dogs that are very well behaved and friendly)

Absolutely amazing - The visit was absolutely amazing. I was the only visitor there so I had a lot of time to talk to the staff. Everyone was attentive and very friendly. The wines are very good and the Gin they are making is amazing. I can only recommend that place.

Best experience so far in Macedonia - We went with my husband and it was simply amazing! I am pretty sure this will be one of out best memory from Macedonia. The wines and the cheeses were simply perfect, not talking about the hosts. They were so nice and we talked a lot about everything. They are such a cute and warm people that I felt like we know each others for years. Thanks for this beautiful experince, I am pretty sure we will come back! Guys, we wish you the best and I hope soon we can have such a great time again! Thanks again!

Very enjoyable tour - We contacted the winery direct and they organised transport for us. Located in a beautiful area next to the hills. We hadn't realised that there was no actual vineyard - the grapes are bought in and bottled on the premises. Enjoyed the tasting of around five wines and the meat and cheese platter. Trip around the small winery with opportunity to buy wines. Pleasant young man undertook our tour. He was a little quiet so difficult to hear above the band practising for the forthcoming evening entertainment. Still a good trip. Unfortunately our transport back was smaller than a Fiat 500 which for four large adults was challenging to say the least!
