Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery

Posted By : meljesus
This was BY FAR the highlight of our trip. Driving there was not very hard and once we arrived the scenery was amazing. It is in a small town with amazing surroundings. When we were there we realised that we were the only ones who booked it for that hour, well even though we were excited to socialize, it was like our own private wine tasting so we call it luck. Also we got to know the family who are doing the tasting and they were amazing people. Lovely wine, lovely food, lovely family, nothing can be any better. Also they were very informative about the wines and loved hearing their stories. Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again. We ended up buying a bottle of rose wine which tastes amazing. 💕 PROS: You can play football with their son. CONS: He would probably beat you at it 😂

Really glad that we booked this visit. The vineyard is nestled in a mountain hamlet and the tasting took place on the owners terrace. We expected a group tasting but it was instead more like a restaurant experience with individual tables, making it a memorable, intimate experience. This was probably because we booked the 6pm slot. The owners presented us with wonderful food and introduced each of the 4 wines to us as we finished each glass. No pretensions and the owners just wanted guests to enjoy their wine.We did purchase some wine at the end as it was so good. Recommend the taxi from Virpazar ( from Whisky Bar)which can be booked to collect at a set time. Best memory of our Montenegro trip.

The loveliest afternoon spent in the most beautiful setting with Misko. His knowledge and love for what he does is infectious. From the minute we arrived (late)he was so welcoming. The food but most importantly the wine is just amazing. Treat yourself to this trip you won't regret it.

Goodness where to start! It begins with a stunning drive up into the cliffs above lake Skadar, electrical storms we experienced are optional! We arrived slightly wet, but we’re warmly greeted by maja and misko. We chatted about the history of the village area and it’s history. Balkan history is certainly richer than most countries. Other guests arrived and then plates arrived filled with meat, cheese, homemade tapenade and the finest olive oil I’ve had. Then the wine! This is an immersion in history, viniculture and taste. The wine is full of rich flavors, we couldn’t buy the red as it not available yet but it’s simply phenomenal. Rich fruit and similar to some very very expensive Italian reds. Then we were treated to some Montenegrin spirit, or as I felt- fire water! If you need anything to rejuvenate the spirit for a couple of hours, or for dancing on tables… this is it!! We’ve drank wine all over the world but I will never forget this place. Lovely people who care about the land, the heritage and agriculture. Thank you! Come here, taste Montenegro, experience something unique!

Delicious snacks and wine served in the most tranquil setting. If you like wine then I can't recommend this activity enough. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Montenegro.

We really enjoyed our wine-tasting experience at Winery Garnet. Excellent wine and delicious food. Maja and Misko are fantastic; we have been really impressed by their hospitality and kindness. We are looking forward to meeting them again soon at Godinje!

Had the best wine Tour last saturday! We were the first guests of the season, had such a warm welcome from Misko and the family. Really good wines with delicious food. Good conversations and good company. I would definitely recommend this tour. Greetings from Holland.

Our party had a wonderful experience with Misko and his winery tour. Our group of fifteen individuals enjoyed every stop on this tour and had a great time listening to the background, history and stories from the winemakers involved. Tasting the wine (and enjoying the food!) was just as good and we left laden with bottles of red, white and rose wines. We can't recommend this tour highly enough! A great day out (for groups of all sizes!).

What a lovely and enriching experience following our wise winemaker Misko around his beautiful village. What a view of the Skadar lake and the vineyards! We then tasted delicious homemade snacks and his many different wines. Highly recommend! Very personal story as Misko is trying to revive this hidden gem in the mountains… Good luck to you and your family, Misko! The Moutault family

Highly highly recommend a visit to this winery, it was a definite highlight of our time in Montenegro. The winery itself is located in a small but beautiful and rustic town near the top of the hills with amazing views. As a result, the entire atmosphere felt extremely traditional and authentic. We were slightly early for our booking but our host (Maja) was extremely friendly and welcomed us in regardless. We were provided with a wide range of fresh local snacks (cheeses, prosciutto, tapenades, bread, fruit etc.) and tasted their full range of wines (chardonnay + a rose + a red, the latter two made from Vranac grapes I believe) and rakija. Misko and Maja both spoke perfect English and were great hosts, very chatty and informative about the winemaking. You can tell they have a real passion for what they do which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. The whole tasting was incredible value so if you come to Virpazar or Montenegro, please make sure to include this on your itinerary. Thank you again to Maja and Misko!
