Albanian Wine & Raki Tasting Experience at Hani i Qerosit
Here is what's in store for you
Discover the rich flavors and traditions of Albania during this immersive wine and raki tasting experience set just outside Berat, in a rustic and welcoming countryside setting. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with an introduction to Albania’s winemaking heritage before beginning a guided tasting of four Albanian wines: two from the historical region of Berat, known for its unique microclimate and centuries of viticulture, and two from northern and southern Albania, offering a broader overview of the country’s diverse grape varieties. Each wine is presented with insights into its origin, characteristics, and cultural significance. The experience continues with a tasting of a traditional Albanian raki—either grape-based or juniper-based—accompanied by an explanation of the distillation process and the role this iconic spirit plays in local hospitality.
To elevate the tasting, guests enjoy a selection of traditional Albanian foods such as cured meats, regional cheeses, fresh homemade bread, bruschetta with olive pâté, and seasonal fruits, all carefully chosen to complement the wines and raki. The session concludes in a peaceful rural atmosphere with views of the surrounding landscapes, creating an ideal setting to appreciate the authenticity of Berat and its culinary culture.
