Jostela Short & Sweet Wine Tasting in the heart of North Macedonia’s Gevgelija–Valandovo wine region

Here is what's in store for you

At Jostela Boutique Winery, in the heart of North Macedonia’s Gevgelija–Valandovo wine region, guests are welcomed into an intimate and authentic tasting journey designed to showcase the passion and craftsmanship behind every bottle. From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted with a guided introduction to the estate, learning about the winery’s philosophy, vineyards, and artisanal approach to winemaking. You’ll explore the production areas, gaining insight into how Jostela transforms hand-harvested grapes into elegant wines and brandy, before settling into a relaxed tasting setting surrounded by the natural beauty of the region.

The experience allows tasting of four carefully selected products: one crisp white wine, one delicate rosé, one rich red wine, and one refined brandy. Each is thoughtfully paired with local specialties—such as two types of artisan cheeses, savory cured meats, and freshly baked bread or crackers—that complement the flavors and highlight the character of the wines. This balance of tastes allows guests to appreciate the nuances of both international grape varieties and local heritage expressions that thrive in the fertile soils of Gevgelija and Valandovo.

What makes this experience truly special is its combination of quality and intimacy. With limited production and a philosophy centered on respect for nature and tradition, Jostela Boutique Winery offers visitors not just a tasting, but a genuine connection to the land and people of North Macedonia. Whether you’re a curious traveler or a seasoned wine lover, this “Short & Sweet” journey provides the perfect introduction to the region’s winemaking culture, blending scenic views, warm hospitality, and unforgettable flavors into a memorable hour-long escape.
