Discover Albania’s Raki Heritage Through an Authentic Tasting Experience
Visitors can explore the heart of Albanian culture through an exclusive raki and meze pairing experience that celebrates the country’s most iconic traditional drink. Combining history, flavours, and local hospitality, the journey introduces guests to the craftsmanship behind raki while revealing its importance as a symbol of friendship, celebration, and community throughout Albania.
The evening begins with a guided walk from the National Opera House, passing some of Tirana’s most notable landmarks, including Skanderbeg Square and the Pyramid of Tirana. Guests then arrive at a traditional venue designed to reflect Albanian heritage, where they are introduced to the history, production methods, and cultural stories behind one of the nation’s most treasured spirits.
The tasting showcases seven carefully selected varieties of Albanian raki, each offering its own character and flavour profile. From smooth aged golden raki and aromatic muscat raki to bold burned raki and unique floral, herbal, and fruity varieties, guests discover the diversity of Albania’s distilling traditions. Each selection is paired with traditional meze, including byrek, regional cheeses, grilled vegetables, homemade pickles, sausages, and marinated olives, creating a balanced and memorable culinary experience.
Guided by a raki expert, visitors gain insight into the traditions and techniques that make this spirit an essential part of Albanian identity. The experience provides an opportunity to share conversations, discover local customs, and enjoy authentic flavours in a welcoming atmosphere. Blending storytelling, gastronomy, and cultural discovery, the journey offers a unique way to connect with Albania’s heritage through its beloved raki tradition.

Customer Reviews
I recently went for a wine tasting at Class Wines and it was fantastic! The shop has a beautiful, cozy atmosphere and an amazing selection of wines. A special mention goes to the lovely and very polite sales assistant she was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. She was also impressively efficient, managing the shop and the tasting tables seamlessly while still guiding us through the wines with patience and enthusiasm. She answered all our questions and helped us find our favorites, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Lovely quiet little find. Tasty wine at €15 for 3 wines and a platter of cured pork, cheese and salami. Definite find
Nipped in on a very hot afternoon for some Albanian wine tasting. A huge plate of meat and cheese was provided to accompany the 5 wines we had gone for (you have the option to try 3, 5 or 7) The reason I can't go for 5/5 is that the lady serving couldn't tell us about flavour profiles as she doesn't drink alcohol. Otherwise it was a great way to spend 90 minutes sampling the (surprisingly good) local wine.
