Private Day Tour from Tirana: Berat Castle & Cobo Wine Tasting

Private Day Tour from Tirana: Berat UNESCO City, Berat Castle & Wine Tasting at Cobo Winery

Some cities don't just show you history — they make you feel it.

This private full-day tour from Tirana takes you to Berat, one of Albania's most treasured UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and ends with an exceptional wine tasting experience at Cobo Winery, one of Albania's most celebrated family-run estates.

Begin your day exploring Berat Castle, a living fortress built on 2,400-year-old walls. Wander through Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and the remarkable Onufri Museum, home to the iconic works of Albania's most celebrated icon painter. Dine at a traditional stone-house restaurant inside the castle walls, where local families still live and welcome visitors with genuine Albanian hospitality.

Then head to Cobo Winery, nestled between the lush vineyards and the majestic slopes of Mount Tomorr. With over a century of winemaking tradition, Cobo crafts premium wines from rare native Albanian grapes — including the sparkling Shendeverë ("joy and happiness") and the bold red E Kuqja e Beratit ("the red of Berat") — paired with house-made charcuterie and local appetizers.

Your private driver takes care of the road, so you can explore freely and taste without limits. (Albania enforces a strict 0% blood alcohol limit while driving.)
