What To Expect
Lake Mladost
Mladost Lake (Езеро Младост, Велешко Езеро) is an artificial lake on the Otovica River, located 11 km from Veles city. The lake was built for the purpose of irrigation of vineyards and agricultural plantations in the area that often suffered from drought in the past.
Stobi
The old city of Stobi “…Stobis, vetus urbs…”, as the Roman historian Livy named it, at the confluence of rivers Crna and Vardar, was the largest city in the northern part of the Roman province Macedonia, later capital city of the Roman province Macedonia Secunda, an important urban, military, administrative, trade and religious center of two large empires: Roman and Early Byzantine. Located in the heart of Macedonia, on the crossroads between the Aegean World and the Central Balkan, during the whole period of its existence it was a place where cultural achievements of the ancient world gathered in a unique way. Today, the remains of this famous archaeological site are equally easily approachable from the E-75 corridor of the international highway, thus making it very popular tourist destination in Macedonia. The nocturnal illumination of the city walls and preserved monuments, additionally emphasize its beauty and attractiveness.

5.00My boyfriend and I had a delightful experience with our private tour guided by Tony. He was very careful in getting his hat to the winery stopping at a magnificent Roman ruins which is right on the silk Road where two major rivers come together. Then we went on for a delightful lunch and tour of the winery. It’s a small winery, which is the perfect size for my wife and myself to enjoy. There was no rush for the lunch and it was excellent. The wines were fantastic!
Worth a day trip!

4.00First coffee stop not special, there are probably nicer locations. Archaeological site you have to love but guides have given good info and it was special to see. Winery Popova Kula was worth it! Clear explanation of the vineyard and lunch consisting of macedonic dishes and 4 different wines was exquisite! Extra service was that the guides dropped us off at the airport.
Enjoyed

5.00One of the best tours I have ever done in my life! First I did a tour of Matka Canyon and was then so impressed I booked a tour to a winery and the Roman ruins at Stopi. My tour guide Zarko was excellent and extremely passionate about the history and knew the answer to every question in a variety of subjects ranging from ancient history tol modern politics. If you are coming to Skopje, I cannot recommend them enough.
A wonderful day

5.00Definitely recommend this tour. Our guide (and guide in training) were knowledgeable, and generous of spirit- answering our questions and sharing their own experiences. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day in the off-season. The visit to the archeological site was very interesting, and we both appreciated the winery lunch/tasting. The food was traditional and delicious and each course had a wine pairing.
Wine tour and archaeological excavation.

4.00Interesting with the remains from Stobi and the city that was there already centuries before our era. Very knowledgeable and engaged guide who also explained and told about contemporary Macedonia and current events. Nice visit to Popova Kula Winery. It would have been good to be able to order food from a selection, but it was a well-selected wine package for the meal. Beautiful setting and way out to the vineyard and towards the southern part of Macedonia.
