This unique gastronomic day trip takes us southeast to the forgotten "city" of Librazhd. Here we'll visit an extraordinary local winery, which only started offering visits and wine-tastings in 2019. Don't expect a stylish tasting room, or video presentations. Most of the equipment dates from before the Russian-Albanian split of the early 1960s, when the winery was shipped over from Georgia in the then Soviet Union.

We'll spend an hour or so looking around the winery, and of course tasting the produce. Afterwards we'll sit down to lunch at the winery's new restaurant for a meal of Tava Elbasani - the regional speciality of lamb slow-cooked in yoghurt sauce.

Please note - if you travel on a Saturday or Monday, it's market day in Librazhd.

What's Included

The kantina has recently opened its own excellent restaurant, so we'll enjoy our lunch of Tava Elbasani (the local speciality of lamb slow-cooked in yoghurt sauce) here.
Air-conditioned vehicle
The wine tasting at the kantina is included, of course, and half a litre of wine per person over lunch.
