Monastery Winery Tour and Wine Tasting

We chatted to other visitors at the same hotel as us recommended the winery. As we both like walking and wine we wanted to do the hike/ wine tasting. To our disappointment the hiking part was not available due to risk of fire. It was a lovely afternoon. Philip picked us up from the hotel and transported us. The young chaps at the winery explained about the wines and how it was produced. A excellent player of ham and cheese to accompany the wine. We walked to the monestary only across the path. It was a very pleasant afternoon returned to the hotel by Phillip.

A lovely afternoon with a tour of the wine making process with a informative young wine maker.followed by a wine tasting with disciption of the difference wines accompanied by cheese and meat platter .we met two lovely young ladies who we shared a table with who were from south Africa and Norway can highly recommend it

The winery provided transport which picked us (two persons) up from and returned us to our hotel for 20 euros. The driver (Philip) was very friendly with a good command of English. We were joined by a couple of young ladies (Alice and Carla) which enhanced the visit as we had various discussions. We then had a tour around the small facility by Radovan (again excellent English) who explained wine, ratsiki (rakia - brandy) and gin processing. Next was the tastings with a lovely charcuterie board of various meats and cheeses. You can choose different options as to how many wines you taste. After we went to the small monastery which was very scenic but not currantly occupied by monks. The visit was well worth it for the 3-4 hours we spent.

We booked a trip up to see the vineyard, and taste the wines they produce. We were impressed from the second we were picked up. The guides and the driver were incredibly friendly and told us a lot of interesting information! In addition to this, the wines we were able to taste were very good🙂 We were also served a large barrel with lots of good spek food, and cheese. I highly recommend to others to travel here!

Lovely place, nice wines, great guides and vibes. Optimal for relaxed day drinking.

If you're a wine/drinks lover, would highly recommend going here! We had a lovely tour guide showing us around the small but cozy property. He explained everything well and let us taste many different things. There was also plenty of room for a personal chat. The drinks were great as well as the food platter! We met the owner as well, very nice man to have a chat with. The service was amazing, and the environment as well to sit in and enjoy the great food and drinks

We had the most incredible time on this winery excursion, and it completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the fantastic selection of wines, but what truly made the day unforgettable was our host. They were remarkably knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the winemaking process, the history of the vineyards, and the unique characteristics of each blend. It felt less like a standard lecture and more like an engaging, masterclass conversation. Beyond their expertise, our host was incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure everyone in our group felt comfortable, answered every single question with genuine enthusiasm, and kept the energy fun and relaxed from start to finish

The quality of the wines is very high and the dedication is truly impressive. It tells a lot about the Macedonians and how they live their days. Fantastic experience.

Our driver/guide, Michael, was knowledgeable and a lot of fun. My adult children enjoyed talking with him. His colloquial English was excellent! Winery tour with descriptions of wine/rakia/gin making processes was great and the generous charcuterie board and sampled wines and rakia were delicious! Winery staff were all very warm and hospitable. Purchasing some bottles before we left was a must!

Great experience great people and great wine
