Indulge in an exclusive tasting of Albania’s finest wines and olive oils. Focused on taste, tradition, and countryside landscapes, the journey goes beyond simple sightseeing and offers a closer look at regional food culture.

The route unfolds in the surroundings of Tirana and Durrës and includes two carefully chosen stops. First comes a visit to a local olive oil farm, where olive groves and production areas introduce one of the country’s key products. The journey then continues to a nearby winery, where vineyards and cellars set the scene for discovering authentic Albanian wines paired with local appetizers.

Throughout the day, local professionals guide the visits, lead the tastings, and share practical insights on how to recognize quality products and make better choices when buying olive oil, wine, or honey. The experience is designed not only as a tasting tour, but also as an informative introduction to local products, before returning to Tirana at the end of the tour.

I really believe I am lucky for being born and living in this attractive country, Albania. Passionate about the wild nature, fascinating history, and mindblowing traditions and local rules, I would be happy to welcome you to Albania and share all this beauty with you and show you around. In the 7 last year I have been exploring my country and working as a tour guide, hotel manager and welcoming service. From all my little experience so far have understood that tourism and promoting my country is something I love and enjoy so I believe I would never get tired of this. Despite my job position, I can not promise you will find me always in the office. I really enjoy guiding and highly participate in Hiking Guides around the Albanian Alps or Peaks of Balkans. Also, we travel quite a lot in cultural sites of Albania and UNESCO sites, so there is a good chance of seeing each other inside a museum, or somewhere in the evening for a Raki! Gezuar! 🙂
