The driver picked us up from Tirana, but we waited for almost an hour because he blamed the traffic jam. I believe better planning could have avoided this delay. During the trip, he only talked about himself and his favorite cars instead of discussing the country and its history—or he could have simply been quiet. While driving, he constantly checked his phone and watched YouTube for music, which was very dangerous. Then, at the winery, he introduced us to an unprofessional guide who spoke for barely 10 minutes about the winery's history and production process. I expected more: a demonstration of wine tasting, how to appreciate different wine aromas, and information about various types of wine glasses. Afterward, we had a tour of the lake, which was okay. The lunch provided was too light; we returned hungry since it was supposed to serve four people but had to be shared among us.

Don’t miss this tour!

What a wonderful experience! Rio, our driver, grew up here in Durress and is very open with information and very willing to answer any questions. Our guide at the winery, Elena, has only been on the job for eight days, but you would never know, she is very knowledgeable, confident and answered every question like a seasoned professional. The “snacks” that are included, were an antipasto feast and delicious, so much that we’re hoping to get back to have dinner. The views of and from the vineyard and the drive up there are amazing. I would highly recommend this tour!
