My delightful experience at the vineyard was exceptional. For 45 euros pp, my friends and I tasted five exquisite wines, paired with delicious snacks like cheeses, chorizo, and olives. The highlight was the special wine tasting event for restaurants, where we had the privilege to try the oldest bottles, including a stunning vintage from 2001. We particularly enjoyed the red wines from 2007, 2012, 2017, and 2019, and were mesmerized by a champagne-method sparkling wine. The standout was a red wine, scoring 99 out of 100, an indescribable treat. We left with many bottles, cherishing the memories and experiences shared.

We understand now why Cobo is Albania's gem of a vineyard, with a tradition spanning four generations now. We did the 35 Euro tasting after the informative tour with Enis, the youngest of the siblings who work at the family establishment. We tried their award winning white wine, two reds, a sparkling (Shandevere), and a raki (maybe a second white, I forget), along with some side snacks of cheese (2), olives, and bread. Why would all three of us highly recommend this place so strongly? 1. The working siblings made everyone (others around us, too) feel right at home. 2. Even more important, I suppose, the wine is terrific and we were compelled to buy some. 3. The atmosphere was relaxing and we can see why the international awards and 99 points were assigned to three different bottles. Cobo Winery is a must-see in Albania if you are a wine lover, I would say. It's a shame we could not fit more than one extra bottle in our suitcases. Although we could not ship a box to our home in the USA, later in the evening, I found that the local distributors have some of Cobo's wine in their collection. Hurray for that!

Great way to have a different lunch experience. Lots of olives cheese and cornbread. Plenty of wine. Expensive but lots of wine to taste. Best if you want to drink brandy and raki (eur45) otherwise do the cheaper option (eur25)
