Degustazione di Raki e Meze Pairing a Tirana
Descrizione
Ciò che contraddistingue questa degustazione è il fatto che abbiamo accuratamente selezionato sette gusti di raki tra 58 varietà distinte prodotte in tutta l'Albania, assicurandoti di gustare solo il meglio. Ospitato in un locale caldo ed elegante che fonde il fascino tradizionale con un tocco moderno, sorseggerai di tutto, dal raki liscio e invecchiato a miscele audaci e caramellate, ognuna sapientemente abbinata a deliziosi meze biologici come il byrek fatto in casa, formaggi locali saporiti e verdure perfettamente sottaceto. Per tutta la serata, il nostro amichevole compagno locale sarà al tuo fianco, condividendo storie accattivanti sulle radici del raki, offrendo consigli di viaggio da insider e rispondendo a qualsiasi domanda tu possa avere sull'Albania. È più di una semplice degustazione: è uno sguardo rilassato e immersivo in una cultura vibrante, dove ogni sorso ti invita a immergerti più profondamente nello spirito dell'ospitalità albanese

The Raki tasting, overall, we feel didn't deliver on what was promised in the description. We were the only group on the raki tasting, and it was difficult to meet the guide who had the wrong name for our booking and had no identifying features to let us know they were our guide. We kinda just had to go on trust. We were then taken for a short walk and a tour of the city, which we didn't really need. And the experience would have probably been better if we had just met at the bar. At the bar, we were expecting information on Raki, how it is made, and its history, but we had to prompt this information from the guide, and what was given seemed rather surface-level, with the exact flavourings of each serving not being known, and we had to guess. The guide we expected to flutter to the table to give us information, then leave us alone, and it felt a little uncomfortable having them join us on our table for the full thing. It took a while to warm up to her, and after that, we were fine with it, but it was a shock for them to be so involved and give us as much attention as she did. Overall, it felt a little poorly put together, but we got 8 shots instead of he advertised 6, and the alcohol definitely helped us enjoy the night. We enjoyed our experience, but we would have had a very similar experience if we had gone to a bar and just drunk a lot. Not with the money we spent.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly value constructive feedback as it helps us constantly improve. That said, we do want to clarify a few points, as your review seems to reflect a number of misunderstandings. Firstly, regarding the meeting with your guide: our Raki Tasting is not a day trip or large group tour, but a curated, intimate local experience. We intentionally do not use branded signs for this experience, as we aim to keep it personal, friendly, and casual like meeting a local friend for a drink, not joining a bus tour. Your guide contacted you via WhatsApp in advance, as always, sharing the exact meeting point and details. The confusion regarding the name came from the fact that the booking was made under a different name something outside of our control, but we still managed to accommodate it smoothly. As for the tour itself: You were guided through a short, charming walk with cultural highlights of Tirana, which is clearly mentioned in the description. If that portion wasn’t of interest, we would have gladly skipped ahead if requested our tours are flexible and led by guest preference. Once at the bar, you received 8 raki glasses instead of the 7 mentioned, including exclusive raki varieties that cannot be found elsewhere, served with light bites, a sommelier’s explanations, and your personal guide, all for €45. Just ordering those drinks alone in a regular venue( if you could find some tastes) would cost over €35 without any context, hosting, food tasting or storytelling. Your guide, Viola, is one of our most beloved team members, consistently praised for her warmth, local knowledge and hospitality. It’s unusual to hear that her attentive approach was considered too much in fact, most guests appreciate the personal connection and storytelling. You mention you felt you “could have just gone to a bar” but that’s not what this experience is about. It’s about tasting rare Albanian spirits, understanding their origins, cultural value and production all in an authentic, guided setting and everything promised in the description was delivered, and more. Frankly, your review reads as though you were looking for reasons to complain, despite receiving a richer experience than advertised. You're also the first guest not to enjoy this tour, which has received only glowing feedback until now. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, we believe a 2-star review is not only unfair to the team involved — including Viola(Guide), Klajdi(Raki expert) and our chef that prepared the tasting but misrepresents the true value and care put into this experience. We’ll be flagging this review for internal evaluation, as we strongly stand by the quality of what was provided. That said, we do hope your future travels bring you experiences more in line with your personal style perhaps something like a pub crawl, as you suggested. All the best, Donald
Fun evening tasting raki in cool bar. There were seven raki samples offered with a small plate of mezze. Really enjoyed talking with our guide Evis and learning more about Albania and raki.
Thank you for the nice review and comment Eliza, we are always glad to hear our guest had a good time during the experience!
We had a great time with Serena who gave us an informative walking tour through Tirana as we traveled from the meeting spot to the bar and restaurant that was providing the tasting. The Raki pours were more than generous and the bar also has an ethnographic museum attached. Serena was able to share insights about the objects included there as well. We highly recommend that you take part in this experience while in Tirana!
I am glad you liked it Kath , cheers :)
Good value for the price. Lots of raki and a decent amount of meze. Nice way to spend a local evening. It was really worth it.
Thank you for the nice Review , happy you like our experience !
My partner and I had a really nice evening trying the raki and meze. It was a quiet and romantic kind of place. Just right for tryng something new together. The food was tasty and the raki.. yeah it was worth trying! We definitely recommend it for a different sort of night out. Absolutely loved Raki tasting and meze pairing Such a delicious way to try local flavors.
Thank you very much for the nice review ! We are glad you liked our Raki collection and the pairing !
This was an unexpected highlight of our trip. We had the pleasure of walking with our guide Marsi to the Raki tasting venue, she provided a lot of great insight and information into Tirana. She was also the host during the tasting. The tasting was also very fun the venue was beautiful.
Thanks a lot for the review Joshua . We are glad you enjoyed Raki tasting and of course we are here to give any information and help needed to our guests for their stay ! Have a great time in Albania!
This was a great event that gave a great historical overview of Tirana and the country, whilst getting to sample 7 different varieties of Raki.
