Great way to spend an evening - My two friends and I really enjoyed the wine tasting experience. The sommelier was really knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the history of wine in Macedonia as well as describing the different flavours found in the wines. The wines themselves were all excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the charcuterie platter that accompanied the wines. A really great way to spend an evening.

Unforgetabble holiday - What a great service have i received all trip round. The organisation of KTM Voyage was exquisite and i can't recommend them enough. I went on multiple excursions but the ones that stood out was the wine tasting and the kayakking experience. I really got treated like i was a friend of theirs. Lovely, 5/5.

🍷 Macedonian Delights: Bacchus Wine Bar in Ohrid - (scroll down for detail review) great experience to try macedonian wine in the centre of Ohrid! 좋은 가격에 마케도니아 와인을 맛볼 수 있어서 좋았음, 친절한 스태프, 와인바 위치도 좋아서 한잔하러 또갈듯 == At first, I thought this is going to be another wine tasting. But I was immediately positively surprised by its historical location and beautiful local. The collection of wines in wine bar Bacchus is overwhelming especially when you realize these are all Macedonian wines. In other words, this place is a hidden gem for wine lovers. There is no other bar that represents wine in Ohrid like this, hands down. The wine itself was fruitier compared to other southern European wines, which I liked. The taste is strong and isn’t shy to show itself. The only downside is that the flavor has a shorter duration. Nevertheless, this was immediately tackled by a better quality of wine. Which brings me to the last part. The more expensive the bottle, the better the wine, but it doesn’t mean that the cheap wines are bad. Not at all, wine bar Bacchus has shown the contrary, even a cheap bottle like Stobi Rkaciteli or Vranec was great, let alone an expensive bottle of Popova Kula or Kamnik. The sommelier was very polite and knew his wines very well. He gave me a very welcoming feeling without being to much. He explained about the flavors, way of production and history of the producers. He also elaborated about the local products on the platter. The platter was very tasty and you can feel that most products were local. Personally, I am not a big fan of the TUC crackers, but the variation of local cheeses and cured meats were amazing, especially the ones glazed in honey and dried figs. To wrap things up. Great place and location, beautiful atmosphere, lovely people, amazing bites and unbelievably tasty wines. A must see in Ohrid!

45mins to taste your first wine. Be prepared for long waits, great wine at the end! - Probably the worse wine tasting experience - although after 2 hours it does get funnier. One main staff member for the entire experience is not good..he does try against having to paying customers outside. Therefore very unorganised. I think the cctv inside must record how many people choose to leave after waiting 45 mins for the first wine.

Wine tasting experience let down. - We booked this trip through TUI.7 people were on the trip .3 couples and an independent traveller..All strangers. The host knew his wine but did not engender any atmosphere to the group.He provided the first drink and then disappeared for long periods Food was placed on the table with no indication as to whether we should wait for the wine.1 hour and we still had not had a glass of wine.The host spent more time speaking to regular customers outside and booking in guests to his apartment.One guest needed an alternative drink and he forgot to bring it.I raised these issues direct on the night with the staff..We had each paid paid 25 Euros and one couple left because it was not a good experience.If you market a wine tasting experience you need to be present, convivial and nformative.The wine was good but that's not enough.If the boss has insufficient time he needs to train another.We purchased some wine and will put this down to experience.The host should visit local vineyards and see how they provide a wine tasting.
