• 5Plentiful Wine and Raki Make This A Must Do

  This was exceptional. Prepare to drink more than your fair share and to enjoy every moment. The wine and raki are plentiful. The hosts are warm, inviting, and helpful. We took the short tour and enjoyed our afternoon. Ended up with 4 bottles of wine to take home. Highly recommend this tour.

• 5Fantastic experience

  My husband and I shared a wonderful afternoon at the Monastery wine tasting experience. We were collected from our hotel in Pesthani by Philip who drove safely to the venue. The setting is beautiful. The monastery had a local wedding also at the time. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting to other guests too. We were given a tour and explanation of the winery. We tasted five wines, one raki and one gin. We purchased the gin to take home. We enjoyed the delicious platter of meats, cheese and bread. We never felt rushed, very relaxing and enjoyable. The monastery has a gorgeous puppy too named Zara, she made our day! We totally recommend the experience, you will not be disappointed!

• 5Feeling Ohrid at its best

  Nestle in the hills just outside Ohrid on the way to Macedonia second biggest town Bitola, Is this hidden Jem wow. Having graduated in Napier university 1991 and taking master degree in wines and spirits, I have travel extensively and visited some world renown winery's in Burgudy, Le Montrachet, Pouligny Montrachet, Chablis and stayed in my favorite Castle Clos Vougeot ,Rhone region Chateau neuf du Pape View Telegraphe but nothing prepared me for a wow effect that I witness at the Monastery Winery in Ohrid. Spoketo the one of the owners Stefan that I would like to visit the winery with 7 other guests that were staying in the wonderful Hotel Vila Mystic. Stefan sugested a package with6 wines 2 schnaps 1 gin and 1 fortified wine (port) with Chacrutiers and for extra £5.00 to have the local fish that only lives in ohrid lake Belvica part of the trout family.OMG that wasn't a nibbles it was a feast for a king.Radovan the somellier welcomed us and served us the first schnapps with Macedonian Salad match made in heaven and took us in the cellars, he was great explaining the origins of the grapes and process of making the wine which is 10.000 bottles a year. After the tour was finished we sat down on the large table over looking to the beautiful green forest and their sunken vegetable plot from where they made this insane Macedonian Salad,(Ohrid tomatoes best in the world cucumber peppers and sublimed feta cheese grated on top) Stefan was preparing the fish which was voted the tastiest fish in the world by our young 14 years old. We were spoiled and looked after as a family 4.5 hours of pleasure with 7 total strangers that have now become dear friends. Filip the Mini Bus driver made sure we were returned safely and comfortably to our Hotel. Remember if you are Vegeterians to inform them .Looking forwards to return again and again.

• 5Pleasant afternoon.

  We chatted to other visitors at the same hotel as us recommended the winery. As we both like walking and wine we wanted to do the hike/ wine tasting. To our disappointment the hiking part was not available due to risk of fire. It was a lovely afternoon. Philip picked us up from the hotel and transported us. The young chaps at the winery explained about the wines and how it was produced. A excellent player of ham and cheese to accompany the wine. We walked to the monestary only across the path. It was a very pleasant afternoon returned to the hotel by Phillip.

About Ohrid

Ohrid is a lakeside town in North Macedonia on one of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, with a hilltop fortress and Byzantine churches.

Ohrid stands on the north-east shore of Lake Ohrid, which North Macedonia shares with Albania and which UNESCO lists for both its nature and its culture. The old town climbs a hill from the water to Samuel's Fortress, and the church of St John at Kaneo perches on a cliff above the lake. Frescoed Byzantine churches, among them St Sophia and St Clement's at Plaošnik, record the town's role as a centre of Slavic learning.
