• Byrek
• Meatballs
• Stuffed peppers
• Tavë kosi
• Fërgesë
• Lakror
while learning the cultural stories behind each dish.
While the dishes simmer, enjoy a guided tasting (1 wine + 2 raki) of locally produced Albanian wines, including varieties unique to the Berat region.
Learn about native grape varieties, depending on the menu of the day, such as:
• Puls (Pules)
• Shesh i Zi

and discover how each wine complements the flavors of traditional cuisine.
No Albanian table is complete without raki — and you’ll taste it the local way. Sample artisanal raki made from grapes, plums, or mulberries, and hear the stories and traditions behind Albania’s most iconic spirit.
