5.00We had a fantastic evening here! Tasted delicious Macedonian wines and the sommelier was very inspired. The appearance of the bar was also very good and the tasting included a richly filled plate with delicious snacks.
My first solo wine tasting—absolutely amazing!

5.00Trajce was a knowledgeable and polite host who personally selected the wines, which was a pleasant surprise. I started with a grappa and then tasted three wines—white, rosé, and red—each better than the last. Trajce’s recommendations were spot-on—even tho I'm not a wine person, and I loved learning a bit about each wine’s origin and unique characteristics—it made the experience more engaging. The platter was a great addition, and they also treated me to sliced green apple and roasted nuts. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean, and I loved the wine display on the wall. For the quality of wines and the personal attention, it was great value for money. I’d definitely come back and would recommend this experience to both wine lovers and beginners alike.
All about the wine!

4.00Cozy and interesting to learn more about the different wines! Everything was well taken care of and the snacks were on the table. It was for our group a pleasant last evening in Ohrid.
Great wine and history

5.00This experience was one of the most memorable of my stay in Ohrid. The hosts was hilarious and made may jokes while explaining about the wines. And because of my preference for rakija, he also gave me some to try, totally free of charge. At the end we took the bottle with the golden leaves, with some other guests after the tasting. One of the best wines I had.
Interesting and tasty wine tasting

5.00This tasting was given by none other than our own travel guide, who is not only a historian but also a sommelier! It was held in Winery Bachus which has 400 wines from 42 wineries. The house is tastefully decorated and we got to taste 3 delicious wines (white, rose and red) and a Raki (kind of eau de vie) with interesting and enthusiastic explanations. Of course bought some wines and Raki. Highly recommended this tasting!
45mins to taste your first wine. Be prepared for long waits, great wine at the end!

2.00Probably the worse wine tasting experience - although after 2 hours it does get funnier. One main staff member for the entire experience is not good..he does try against having to paying customers outside. Therefore very unorganised. I think the cctv inside must record how many people choose to leave after waiting 45 mins for the first wine.
Wine tasting experience let down.

2.00We booked this trip through TUI.7 people were on the trip .3 couples and an independent traveller..All strangers. The host knew his wine but did not engender any atmosphere to the group.He provided the first drink and then disappeared for long periods Food was placed on the table with no indication as to whether we should wait for the wine.1 hour and we still had not had a glass of wine.The host spent more time speaking to regular customers outside and booking in guests to his apartment.One guest needed an alternative drink and he forgot to bring it.I raised these issues direct on the night with the staff..We had each paid paid 25 Euros and one couple left because it was not a good experience.If you market a wine tasting experience you need to be present, convivial and nformative.The wine was good but that's not enough.If the boss has insufficient time he needs to train another.We purchased some wine and will put this down to experience.The host should visit local vineyards and see how they provide a wine tasting.
Great way to spend an evening

5.00My two friends and I really enjoyed the wine tasting experience. The sommelier was really knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the history of wine in Macedonia as well as describing the different flavours found in the wines. The wines themselves were all excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the charcuterie platter that accompanied the wines. A really great way to spend an evening.
Unforgetabble holiday

5.00What a great service have i received all trip round. The organisation of KTM Voyage was exquisite and i can't recommend them enough. I went on multiple excursions but the ones that stood out was the wine tasting and the kayakking experience. I really got treated like i was a friend of theirs. Lovely, 5/5.
