Linda picked us up at our hotel and took us to the castle for photos. Then she took us to a cantina that produces local fruits/veggies, wine and olive oil. She made sure our tasting experience was comfortable with air conditioning, seating and the snacks provided with the wine/raki/cognac.
Thank you girls. Glad you liked it
This was a fantastic experience! We had a great guide who told us about the whole process from wine growing to the finished product. We had a tour of the vineyard and the production premises where the wine was developed and stored. It was very educational and exciting to see how the wine was made. 😀 We strongly recommend this tour!
Thank you. we're glad to know that you enjoyed the tour.
An absolutely fantastic guide who is knowledgeable about all processes will lead you through the entire farm. You will learn how they create different wines from their grape, how they make raki/liqueurs/olive oil, grow their own fruit/vegetables etc. You can then taste their wines, raki and liqueur together with a table filled with picking food from their farm. It was so good! For such a cheap price I recommend everyone to go there and experience the farm, soon there will also be their own restaurant built on the farm.
:) thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed the tour.
We asked for a tour later in the evening, got a private tour with the best guide Linda! Pick up at the hotel, lot of stories abort Albania in general an wine and raki history. The Isak Kantina is a vert nice place, we really loved it! Wines, raki, limoncella and konjak (brandy), together with som bread, cheese, oliven, tomatoes and more.
Thank you. We appreciate it, the time you spend and of course we're glad you had a good time in this tour. All the best.
The tour was amazing. We got to go the nicest small wine and raki producer where we got to try local snack, wine and of course raki. Everything was delightful. Highly recommend booking this tour and any tour through South Albania Excursions.
Thankyou for your evaluation
The tour was amazing. We got to go the nicest small wine and raki producer where we got to try local snack, wine and of course raki. Everything was delightful. There is also an option to buy the local food, wine a raki. If we didn't have liquids limited for the plane, I would have bought everything. :) What we loved about the place the most is that it is truly local and there is no way we would have found this place by ourselves. However, the biggest thanks goes to Linda. She was just amazing. Her english is great and she is really knowledgable, so we got a lot of fun trivia and historical facts from her. Thanks to Linda we had an amazing time and I would recommend this tour to everyone!
Our tour guide was amazing! She messaged us the day before suggesting we switch our tour time to the evening and it was well worth it. The wine, raki and food at the winery were incredible. She then took us to the Lëkurësi Castle near sunset and we had a drink there. Linda was amazing and knowledgeable. Highly recommend booking this tour and any tour through South Albania Excursions.
