Highlight of our trip - My partner and I had the pleasure of coming to explore North Macedonia for a very rainy week in early September. Two and a half months later, we are still talking about how special this experience was! Simon was extremely knowledgeable, very kind and we came away feeling enlightened and uplifted (not just because of the alcoholic content🥂). Being an ex-sommelier, I have tried some lovely wines but I can honestly say that Monastery winery produces some of the most beautifully balanced wines that I have ever had the joy of trying. Not to mention the beautiful setting, lovely dogs and very tasty charcuterie! We would recommend this tour to anyone who will listen and our only regret was travelling with hand luggage so that we couldn’t bring more home.

Such a pleasant way to spend a day - If you're visiting Ohrid the Monastery Winery is an absolute must. We loved it. The transport was quick and convenient, with a knowledgeable and lovely bloke who gave us some info on the local area as we traveled through. The Monastery itself is gorgeous and the owner gave us a fascinating tour through the winery, carefully explaining the stages of productions of various drinks, and patiently answering all our questions. The tasting session was absolutely delightful - the owner was really generous and the wines were delicious, fragrant and extremely drinkable. It was a completely unrushed, relaxing, and insightful day in a wonderful setting with lovely people. I could not recommend it more and we will definitely return

Highlight of our trip to North Macedonia! - My partner and I loved the wine tasting experience at Monastry Winery. Stefan gave us a very interesting tour explaining the unique process they use to produce their wines. We then sat in a beautiful dining room with amazing views of the vineyard and stream below, and the wines, cheese and meat platter were all delicious, and well-explained by the young hostess. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to North Macedonia!

Amazing experience - Best decision I made was going to this place. The wine was good, I loved the backstory of how the place became to what it is today. Besides the wine and the snacks being really good the people that work there made the experience a 10/10!

Simply, the best! - The setting of the winery is beautiful. Jovana, the server, is very friendly, informative, professional and fun. The winemaker, Simon, shared his wine making story in a very relaxed and cheerful manner. We felt like one of the family and there were hugs all around when we left. Highly recommend this experience. The best wine tasting/tour we have ever been on and we have done many in wine regions around the world. Thank you Jovana and Simon!

Magnificent Monastery - Excellent tour leader (think his name was Simon). Very knowledgable … made it a very interesting and fun event. Food and wine (and spirits) superb and a beautiful location.

Excellent wine trip - This was an excellent tour around the wine monastery. We were shown how the wine was produced by the very informative Seeman. The wine sampling and charcuterie board was very enjoyable, served to us by very knowledgeable Gaga. I would highly recommend this trip. The setting was beautiful too. There was a cosy lit log burner, which added to the ambience. You must go when you visit the area.

Great experience - The information shared was very informative and we had a lot of fun. The wines are super tasty and we were enjoying the atmosphere so much that we forgot to visit the church there next to the winery! Haha. We will have to visit again!!
