Exploring the rugged trails around Berat was a unique experience, especially with the stunning mountain views that unfolded as we ventured off the beaten path. The ride to Hadaj Winery in Malinat was smooth, and our guide shared fascinating stories about the region and its wine-making heritage. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting, where the variety and quality surprised us, making it a highlight of our day. However, the timing felt a bit rushed, and we wished we could have lingered a little longer to savor the flavors. Overall, it was a delightful mix of adventure and local culture that we’d recommend to anyone visiting this charming part of Albania.

Our family had a fantastic time navigating the winding roads of Berat, where the off-road adventure led us to the beautiful Hadaj Winery in Malinat. One of the standout moments was the breathtaking view while we stopped for a quick break, allowing us to soak in the landscape before continuing our journey. While the wine tasting was enjoyable, we felt a bit rushed at times, which made it hard to fully appreciate the unique flavors of each pour.
