Raki Tasting and Meze Pairing with Sommelier in Gjirokastra

About this activity

What sets this tasting apart is the fact that we’ve carefully handpicked seven raki flavors out of 58 distinct varieties produced across Albania, ensuring you taste only the very best. Hosted in a warm, stylish venue that blends traditional charm with a modern edge, you’ll sip everything from smooth, aged raki to bold, caramelized blends, each expertly paired with delicious, organic meze like flaky homemade byrek, tangy local cheeses, and perfectly pickled veggies.

Throughout the evening, our friendly local companion will be by your side, sharing captivating stories about raki’s roots, offering insider travel tips, and answering any questions you may have about Albania. It’s more than just a tasting, it’s a relaxed, immersive look into a vibrant culture, where every sip invites you deeper into the spirit of Albanian hospitality
