Oh, wow! What a place! I'm so glad I came. My original tour was cancelled, and I wanted to do something on my last day in Ohrid and found this winetasting tour. All the way from pick up in central Ohrid to dropping me off was so good. The wine, the presentation, the tour of the cellar. Please take my advice and go there.

I highly recommend family, friends, and business. Wines here are one of a kind. Best gin, wine, food spread, and Rakija. The atmosphere is wonderful and calm. Away from traffic and hidden. It's an actual monastery. Staff is wonderful, kind, and very knowledgeable about wines, gins, and Rakija. They also have a small tour. Highly recommend if you're ever in Ohrid.

We visited the winery whilst travelling through Macedonia and we loved every minute! Booking was easy and the responses quick. We were welcomed on arrival and quickly seated and our first drink brought out for us to try, the Raiki. Everything was explained to us in so much detail and with the history of the grapes.
We have experienced nothing but amazing hospitality everywhere we have been in Macedonia, we can't fault our experience here at the winery. Simon and all the staff were so attentive, we would definitely recommend you try one of the packages here.
There were fruit flies but hey, there's wine, it's in nature so it's to be expected but it in no way ruined our evening. Even the dogs came and said a friendly hello.
Thank you all for a great time! We will be back again when we are next passing through

This winery tour and tasting was exquisite. The knowledge of the guy doing the tour was enormously broad and interesting and the wines as well as the accompanying snacks were amazing. Buying a bottle afterwards was a good idea, although we ended up losing it at the douane at the airport. So when you choose to buy a bottle make sure to finish it before traveling as the fact that it was sealed did not matter to the douane and it was of course a bummer to hand it in before enjoying it.
