Tirana County

Upon arrival at the winery, we will be warmly welcomed by our passionate host. This region is known for the warm hospitality of local winemakers, who take pride in sharing their unique wines and winemaking techniques with visitors. We will visit the vineyard, where we will learn about the history of winemaking in Albania and the unique local grape varieties that thrive in the region. The combination of Mediterranean climate and the microclimate of central Albania region create the ideal conditions for grape cultivation, making this a truly privileged location. The region is known to some of the 100 native grape varieties such as: Vlosh, Kallmet, Shesh, Pula, Mjaltëz, and Kryqës. We will also have the opportunity to explore the wine cellar, where the family produces and ages their wines, before heading to the tasting room. You'll have the chance to savour 3 glasses of distinct wines paired with a delightful selection of local snacks.

Our guide, Altin, was friendly and knowledgeable. The vineyard was quite charming and the wine was excellent (the cheeses were delicious) and the owner was very passionate about his wine and very welcoming. Lovely afternoon not to far from Tirana.
Nice small winery outside Tirana

The excursion worked well. I was alone with a nice and talkative guide and the winery was pitoresque. Driving there was ok and the host at the winery was wonderful. Be careful when booking though. Viator displayed the currency in PLN (Poland) instead of ALL (Albania). So the excursion was another price than I thought since I did not notice the wrong currency when booking...

We don’t normally share reviews but we just had to following our experience to the Vila Shehi Winery for a wine tasting tour. Lovely welcome on arrival to the pick-up point by our driver Altin followed by the journey which included lots of information on Albanian sites and the culture. Altin was excellent and spoke good English and really made the trip a special one. We have been on lots of wine tours including Sonoma, Florence and San Diego and have to say this was the best experience we have had. At the winery we got a tour followed by wine tasting outside in the courtyard and got to try a variety of white, rose and red wines plus an orange wine. The wines were excellent so we bought a bottle of the reserve (our favourite), the rose and a bottle of Raki (we got to try 3 types of Raki too). The wines came with an assortment of cheese, bread and carrots (personal favourite) which went very well with the wine and all ingredients were sourced locally. I can’t share how much we enjoyed this tour enough and would recommend to anyone wanting to go on a wine tasting tour in Tirana. I have no doubt that booking through Choose Balkans and having Altin at the winery helped to make the visit extra special. Thank you Altin and Choose Balkans!
Excellent, locally run wine tour!

This was a fantastic tour with friendly, informative and welcoming guides. We loved the local element of it being a family run vineyard only 30 minutes from Tirana. Would definitely recommend for a fun afternoon out!!

Beautiful vineyard on top of the hills surrounding Tirana, called Komomani Winery. Lunch was extraordinarily catered for. Our guide Ervis was a winner!! Very nice to do if you want to get out of town. About 45 minutes drive with some traffic jam.

Our guide picked us up straight from our hotel, and from the get go he made us feel welcome and offered us water. The drive was beautiful, very scenic, and Ervis offered us a lot of information about the history, culture, and other local attractions of Tirana. When we arrived at the vineyard, we were treated like family and Ervis made sure to translate for us whenever necessary to ensure that we understood the intricacies of the grapes, processes, and agricultural practices. Overall, this is an experience I would recommend to anyone, including families with children as our host offered a full meal and stimulating conversation. Cannot recommend enough.

We went on the wine tasting and vineyards escape with Iler our guide and we had the most amazing morning. Iler was very knowledgeable about Tirana and Enver, the owner of the winery was so lovely and enthusiastic about his wine. The traditional snacks we were offered complimented the wine beautifully and the view from the vineyard was stunning. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tirana, thankyou so much!
