Join us in this tasteful adventure of wine tasting. A dedicated tour to authentic Albanian wines in different regions of the country. One day tour full of activities and information about the long and epic journey of Albanian wine-producing history. An interesting introduction to the techniques and local “secrets” in how to produce a great wine.

   We were really pleased with our trip, Andi was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable.  Andi went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day and managed to see... read more the sights of Kosovo. He even  recommended a Kosovan restaurant in Pristina so we got to taste it too.  Doing this private tour gave us flexibility to ensure we saw what we wanted to see in Kosovo.  It was like being shown around by a friend.  Thanks for a great day Andi.

   Sindi's a great host. She is very helpful and welcoming. I am vegetarian and do not drink alcohol, but she found a way to adapt the dishes and the welcome... read more drinks (her mother's cherry juice was really good).
 After all the food I tasted along my trip from the north to the south of Albania, this cooking class was the perfect way to end my time in this amazing country. With the class you have the chance to get some knowledge on albanian gastronomic influences, you learn on how to prepare some of the albanian typical dishes (and to taste them afterwards) but even more important you have the chance to learn about albanian culture and way of living. I highly recommend this activity for both foodies solo travellers like me️ great way to meet new people, learn about the local culture and enjoy a great feast!
 We started with an albanian type of bruschettas, followed by Ferges (summer stew), the Patëllxhan të Mbushur (vegetarian version - stuffed eggplant), then the Lakror (one layer spinach pie) and to finish the homemade cookies Sheqepare. To drink we even had available the warm and spicy version of raki (homemade). No doubt, raki is really strong! But a local staple drink indeed.
 Well, it is a different way to explore the city, the country and to meet new people. We were 3 guests + Sindi...and we stayed there around the table eating, chatting, drinking, taking pictures and laughing for longer than it was supposed to, but we were having a great afternoon!
 Please do not forget to fast before the cooking class (do not eat for at least 10h prior the class) ... you will have a lot of food available after the class. It is an unforgetable experience!
 Faleminderit Sindi!

   This was our second day with Andi.  He and our driver, Mario picked us up as planned at our hotel.  We stopped first at Bunk’Art to view one... read more of the many nuclear bunkers that were in place during the Cold War. It was extremely interesting...More
