Grand Wine Tasting and Food Tour of Berat
A guided journey through Berat's winemaking heritage, family-run cellars, and authentic Albanian flavors.
The Berat wine tasting tour connects travelers with two carefully chosen wineries in one of Albania's most storied wine regions, offering direct access to the families who craft each bottle and the traditions that shape every vintage.
Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage city, sits within a landscape that has supported viticulture for centuries. The surrounding hills and valleys provide fertile ground for indigenous Albanian grape varieties, many of which remain largely unknown outside the country.
This tour is designed for those who want more than a standard tasting. Visitors meet the winemakers, walk through the production facilities, and gain a grounded understanding of how local conditions influence the final product.
A meal at a local restaurant — either lunch or dinner depending on your schedule — brings the experience together, pairing regional cuisine with the wines encountered during the day.
Tour Highlights
Visits to two family-run wineries with personal introductions to the producers behind each label.
Tastings of three wine varietals per winery, showcasing the range of Berat's indigenous and regional grapes.
A tasting of raki, Albania's traditional spirit, providing cultural context beyond wine alone.
Local snacks served alongside each tasting to complement the flavors and textures of the wines.
Guided winery tours with explanations of the full winemaking process from harvest to bottle.
A sit-down meal at a local restaurant, pairing regional Albanian cuisine with the wines of the area.
Hotel pick-up and drop-off included, removing the need for independent transport between venues.

The group gathers at a local restaurant for a meal that brings together the flavors explored during the winery visits. The setting offers a relaxed environment to reflect on the tastings and the stories heard throughout the day.
