The tour begins with a journey to Berat, a city famously known as the City of a Thousand Windows due to its unique Ottoman-era architecture. Dominating the skyline is the Berat Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers a deep dive into Albania's ancient history. Within the castle walls, visitors can explore a labyrinth of chambers, towers, and battlements, each telling a story of the various cultural exchanges and historical conquests that have shaped this remarkable fortified city over many centuries.
Descending from the castle, the tour leads into the historic neighborhoods of Gorica and Mangalem.

It is a place where history is visible in every stone and corner of the city.
After immersing in the history of the city, the journey shifts toward the rolling hills surrounding Berat to visit the Alpeta Winery. The region's fertile soil and Mediterranean climate provide the perfect conditions for viticulture, resulting in some of Albania's most celebrated wines. At the winery, guests are invited to learn about the local winemaking process, from the cultivation of the vineyards to the final bottling, providing a comprehensive look at the agricultural traditions that support the local economy and culture.
The experience concludes with a wine tasting session, where visitors can sample a variety of local vintages while enjoying the scenic views of the surrounding hills. This blend of historical exploration and culinary appreciation makes for a well-rounded day trip that highlights the best of Albania's heritage. By combining the architectural wonders of Berat with the flavors of the countryside, the tour offers a memorable and educational experience for anyone interested in the history and traditions of this beautiful Balkan nation.

Customer Reviews
The excursion was great- fab hike around the Canyon and walk to the Waterfall. Tasty lunch included in the price too. Soni was a fab guide- extremely knowledgeable. It was great to learn and understand more about Albania, the people, history, language , and his own personal journey. Very nice sized group for the excursion!
We had a great time wine tasting with The Professor! We visited Pupa Winery, a family owned winery near Berat. The wines were very good and the winery is in a beautiful setting with an interesting history and is family run. The Professor took us to visit the vineyards, explained the history of the winery and talked us through the wine making process in the winery itself. It was a brilliant afternoon and I highly recommend!
Our Guide Soni was very competent, knowledgeable, entertaining and respectful. He realised being an older couple that we needed a bit more support and shepherding. The tour is fascinating the canyon, the scenery the hiking the swimming, the waterfall. All very majestic.
