Join us for a memorable tour of Lipovac Winery, the largest private winery in Montenegro, nestled on the scenic slopes of Skadar Lake. With a winemaking tradition dating back to the 3rd century B.C., this winery showcases the rich history of Montenegrin viticulture, evidenced by ancient amphorae and jugs discovered during archaeological digs. During your visit, you will learn about the evolution of winemaking in Montenegro, sample exquisite wines crafted from local grape varieties, and take in breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.

Your tour includes a guided visit to:

  • The Lipovac vineyards, featuring indigenous grape varieties set against stunning mountain vistas and lush nature.
  • A state-of-the-art technological hall with advanced bottling lines.
  • A remarkable 60-meter-long, 10-meter-deep underground cellar filled with French oak barrels and bottles.
  • Ancient Georgian clay qvevri, recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance since 2011.
  • Italian terracotta amphorae, allowing you to taste wines crafted using techniques from ancient Greece and Rome.

Conclude your experience with a tasting of four exceptional wines paired with specially crafted snacks:

  • Lipovac Idea: A dry white wine made from Chardonnay, featuring a light golden hue and notes of fresh flowers and white peach.
  • Lipovac Harmonia: The only rosé made from Vranac grapes, this dry wine offers a unique color and flavors of raspberry and wild strawberry.
  • Lipovac Concept: A medium-structured dry red wine with a ruby red color and juicy ripe fruit notes.
  • Lipovac Model: A premium dry red wine with a garnet color, known for its elegant structure and fruity aroma, ideal for aging.

Enjoy a selection of cold cuts, including prosciutto, Montenegrin cheese, and olives, to complement your wine tasting experience.

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

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 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.”

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!
