Kommunistisches Weingut : Besichtigung, Verkostung und Mittagessen
Beschreibung
Dieser einzigartige gastronomische Tagesausflug führt uns nach Südosten in die vergessene "Stadt" Librazhd. Hier besuchen wir ein außergewöhnliches lokales Weingut, das erst 2019 begonnen hat, Besichtigungen und Weinproben anzubieten. Erwarten Sie keinen stilvollen Verkostungsraum oder Videopräsentationen. Die meisten Geräte stammen aus der Zeit vor der russisch-albanischen Spaltung der frühen 1960er Jahre, als das Weingut aus Georgien in die damalige Sowjetunion verschifft wurde. Wir werden uns eine Stunde lang im Weingut umsehen und natürlich die Produkte verkosten. Danach setzen wir uns zum Mittagessen in das neue Restaurant des Weinguts und essen Tava Elbasani - die regionale Spezialität des Lammes, das in Joghurtsoße langsam gekocht wird.

We had so much fun touring the 1960s winery. It felt totally different from every other wine tour I've been on. The rooms are like a time machine back to the USSR. Lunch and wine in the cantina was lovely too.
We're so glad you enjoyed the day and the winery! It is a total time-warp with all that old Soviet equipment - we hope they never renovate it!
This was a great trip. Lovely drive over the mountains to get to the winery (about 2 hours). Then a wonderful welcome at the winery - process explained and saw the equipment old and new. Tasting of red and white wine plus two Raki and a cognac. Lunch was delicious too. But the best bit was the great guide Mick who told us so much and made the whole experience great.
Thanks so much for the review! We're glad you enjoyed the winery - it is a unique place! We should point out for anyone reading this, the return journey is faster than 2h as we take the highway back, not the scenic route!
This fantastic tour takes you about 70 km from Tirana to the small town of Librazhd. Kreshnik, our guide, is from Librazhd and grew up there. In a small jeep, he drove us through his homeland, stopping along the way for coffee and giving us plenty of time to take everything in. Thanks to Kreshnik, we gained deep insight into Albania’s turbulent history. By the time we arrived at the communist-era winery, we were well prepared. The owner personally guided us through its historic halls. It’s a wonderful wine region, and we enjoyed an extensive wine and raki tasting. Afterwards, in a idyllic setting, we were served a fabulous meal: lamb in yogurt sauce with typical Albanian side dishes. The atmosphere was warm and sociable, and we spent the whole afternoon chatting. It was a truly exceptional tour. If you’re interested in culture and people in Albania and also enjoy good food and drink, this is the perfect experience for you. Kreshnik is an experienced guide who does everything he can to make you fall in love with his homeland. Curious to meet him, discover Albania’s communist past, and try lamb in yogurt sauce?
Thanks so much for the great review, Kathrin! We're glad you enjoyed the day - Kreshnik had a great time showing you his hometown. We're glad too you appreciated the winery, it's a real time-warp. A big surprise for us was the tav kosi - we were worried as the chef was new, but it was a real highlight! We hope you make it back to Albania one day to discover more of its Communist heritage.
Outstanding, informative, fun experience! The drive to the location alone is worth it, but once at the winery, you will be treated to the best meal ever and terrific wines and rakis. If I could give this trip more than five stars, I would! Highly recommend!
So glad you enjoyed the trip! The winery really is unique so we're glad you appreciated it!
