The experience

How do you find a winery that actually knows what it's doing? This one has the golden medals to prove it. The family has been growing grapes and making wine, brandy and liqueurs through generations in the Skadar Lake region, where the sun reflecting off the water and the number of clear days make the grapes naturally sweet. You'll hear their history and the traditional methods they still use, then taste 6 sorts of premium wine alongside 8 homemade liqueurs and 5 brandies, with snacks to go with them. An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your address in Podgorica.

On the way to the winery, you stop at Barutana to see a monument from the Communist era: one of those Yugoslav-period structures full of symbolism and art that sit half-hidden by trees near the main road. It's a brief detour into a forgotten part of the country's past. Then you reach Pavlova strana, a viewpoint where Skadar Lake spreads out in front of you like a fjord, and the winery sits in that landscape. The tasting happens in a relaxed atmosphere where the guide walks you through what you're drinking and how it was made.
