Abaia Winery and Vineyard

While visiting Albania and staying in Tirana, we decided to celebrate my birthday at Abaia Winery, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The setting is beautiful and peaceful — the perfect place to gather, relax, and enjoy good company. We loved learning about the winemaking process and the story behind the winery. The tasting was a highlight of the day. The wines were excellent — especially the white and rosé, which we enjoyed so much that we ended up buying a few bottles to take home. Fresh, well-balanced, and full of character. Thank you to the team at Abaia for making our family celebration so special. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend a visit to anyone looking for a memorable winery experience! 🍷

Abaia Winery was a stunning venue! Our gorgeous tour host Elena, was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines and the history of the area. Unlike other experiences, Elena made this one memorable through her intentionality and skill. The staff were very polite and attentive. We selected the 3 course meal with wine pairings which I am still recounting 😍. The food was fresh, abundant and great quality. The wines were unique and delicious. The desert and spirits were a lovely finish to a hearty meal. I would highly highly recommend.

Wine tour and tasting at Abaia winery and vineyard was a great experience, i loved the lecture and explanation given to me by Elena, she was well composed, communicated well and showed me round , very nice lady and well experienced, she showed me ways to hold cup, stir, sniff and drink wine, it was a eye opener and the packaged I subscribed for was juicy, it came with pizza and some other meal. And the lamb chops, pasta and avocado salad was yummy too, the environment is serene and well maintained too, the services of the servers was nice too… i enjoyed the whole experience… i will surely recommend my friends visiting durress soon.

Wow... first... beautiful surroundings, service exceptional. I had the rabbit, it was devine. My server suggested a wine, its paired perfectly. One of the best experiences I've had in Albania. Its a bit out of the way but don't skip it. Well worth the effort.

One of the best experience I’ve had whilst abroad. The venue was INCREDIBLE. The staff were so lovely and shared so much knowledge of the wine and the history of Albania. We did a wine pairing with 3 courses and 3 wines. The pairings were excellent and the food was so good! Mario then drove us into duress city centre and had great music and drinks flowing in the car. 10/10 experience ⭐️

Amazing wine, food and chill setting minutes from Durres. Eleanor was our hostess and curated an amazing tour of the space (bonus, the winery is in a bunker so it’s kinda 2-4-1 on Albanian history). Highly recommend. I want to make this part of my monthly bingo card. We left with nothing but smiles. 2nd shout out to the team but particularly Eleanor!

Amazing experience. Erisa is an absolute gem and makes the tour and tasting extra enjoyable. The wine is delicious, as is the food. The perfect spot for a little learning and a lot of relaxation and enjoyment. We left full, buzzed, and happy 😊

Honestly, from the second I walked in, I just felt so welcome. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The food was stunning. Every dish that came to the table was full of flavor, and you could tell real care had gone into making it. The wine was a lovely touch too, perfectly matched to the meal. I left genuinely impressed, and I’m already looking forward to going back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
