Highlights
- Durres - If you’re a wine and brandy enthusiast, Albania’s offerings will capture your heart. Nestled by the Mediterranean Sea, this prime location cultivates grapes that give rise to some of the finest beverages in the area. Winemaking in Albania is steeped in history, tracing back to the Bronze Age. During the communist era, wineries flourished under state control. Today, many of these establishments are family-run, crafting Albania’s signature wines, whiskeys, and the traditional drink, raki. Near a stunning turquoise lake, a mere 50 minutes from Durres and an hour’s journey from Tirana, lies a vast vineyard. This vineyard yields three varieties of wine: merlot, tempranillo, and cabernet sauvignon.

Don’t miss this tour! - What a wonderful experience! Rio, our driver, grew up here in Durress and is very open with information and very willing to answer any questions. Our guide at the winery, Elena, has only been on the job for eight days, but you would never know, she is very knowledgeable, confident and answered every question like a seasoned professional. The “snacks” that are included, were an antipasto feast and delicious, so much that we’re hoping to get back to have dinner. The views of and from the vineyard and the drive up there are amazing. I would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience - The guide and the driver picked us up at the hotel, and bought a bottle of water for each of us. We drove to the vineyard, and stopped some places along the road that we wished for. The vineyardtour was amazing, and the winetasting and snack tasted good.
The guide spoke english well, and was easy to talk to. He was patient and flexible. We would 100% recomend this experience.

Awesome wine tour! - We book a wine tour from Tirana to a beautiful place in the mountains. We were amazed by the beautiful views, looking over a lake and the vineyards. First, we got a small tour of the vineyards, followed by a visit to the wine cellar, and afterwards we had a delicious local lunch. We enjoyed the delicious wines, and the service was very friendly.We definitely recommend it!
