Overview

This is not a typical wine tasting in a restaurant or tourist venue — it's a private, slow-travel experience hosted in a cozy mountain chalet in the heart of Rugova Valley. You'll taste authentic Kosovar wines and homemade dishes prepared on-site, while hearing personal stories from your local host. Surrounded by nature and far from the crowds, this experience connects you directly with Kosovo’s food culture and warm hospitality. Perfect for couples, foodies, and travelers looking for something truly authentic and off the beaten path.

    What To Expect

    You’ll be picked up in Peja and taken on a scenic drive into the heart of the Rugova Mountains, where you’ll arrive at the cozy Chalet Kujta – a secluded wooden house surrounded by nature.

    Once there, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of 3 or more local wines, including Vranac, Cabernet, and other traditional Kosovar varieties. Alongside the wines, you’ll sample several authentic homemade dishes prepared on-site, such as local cheeses, suxhuk (smoked sausage), pickled vegetables, traditional pies, and warm bread.

    Your local host will share stories about Kosovo’s food and wine culture, giving you a unique cultural insight while you relax in a warm, private mountain setting.

    Weather permitting, you’ll also have the chance for a short walk or photo stop in the stunning Rugova Canyon before heading back to Peja.
