Traveling solo, all the guides and staff made it super comfortable and personable, sharing with me their stories from their communities and love for food and wine of Albania. The vineyard was right out of a storybook- small, intimate and cozy, and I loved learning how they care for and respect the product they make. My tour guide Erisa was a superstar- funny and charming and so knowledgeable about the wine and making my experience the best it could be! I definitely recommend for anyone interested in exploring Albania’s up and coming wine scene!”
