The wine tasting and culinary experience exceeded my expectations, especially with the stunning views of Berat Castle setting the backdrop. While the wines were excellent, I wished for a bit more variety in the culinary offerings, which felt somewhat limited.

Exploring the charming streets of Berat while indulging in local wines was a delightful experience. I particularly enjoyed a cooking demonstration where I learned how to make traditional Albanian dishes, which added a personal touch to the day. The wine tasting was well-organized, showcasing a variety of flavors that reflected the region’s unique terroir. However, the transportation from Tiranë felt a bit rushed, leaving little time to soak in the scenery along the way. Overall, this experience offered a wonderful glimpse into Albania’s culinary culture, making it a worthwhile adventure for any solo traveler.
