We had a wonderful time at the wine tasting. Kiril was fantastic—he guided us through all the details and even helped with the dinner. The locally made wines were excellent, and we found a few new favorites. With our sweet tooth, we especially enjoyed the Soul wine.”

It was a very nice taste experience. Although we were there out of season, we were not turned away. I thought all the wines we tried were very good. Model in particular became my favorite. Unfortunately, Harmonia was out of stock and we didn't have the chance to try it. I will definitely come back. Many thanks to the interested friend.

We visited this place purely for a tasting experience. The journey there was narrow but easily navigable and well signposted. The tasting and tour were conducted by a young man who started this year. Despite the busy day, he managed to make us feel welcome. He will undoubtedly gain more experience over the years, but we were very satisfied with the tour and got to see how wine is made from start to finish!

An exceptional moment outside of time! Far from the clichés of tourist cellars, this place is run by wine enthusiasts. They share their know-how and techniques to make you spend an exceptional moment. We were lucky to be only two, with the cellar master and one of the room residents and it was a fantastic moment of sharing full of humor and music across cultures! Thanks to them
