“Jelena was a lovely guide, she was easy to talk to and she was keen to answer all our questions. She was very knowledgeable about Kotor old town and we found out a lot about the history of it and more about the culture of Montenegro. The food was good value if you like mussels, maybe consider a different vegetarian option than salad? The whole experience was very worth while and we thoroughly enjoyed it.”

4.Građani: Winery Tour and Tasting at Winery Lipovac

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 40 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $35

At Lipovac Winery near Skadar Lake, your guide leads you through vineyards, a bottling hall, an underground cellar, Georgian qvevri, and Italian amphorae. You taste four Montenegrin wines with prosciutto, cheese, and olives. The 1.5-hour visit is offered in English, Russian, or Serbian.

“Nous avons choisi la dégustation de 8 vins, tout ceux du domaine en soit. Ce qui étais un excellent choix, et les vins sont très bon. La visite de la cave étais interessante avec les différentes méthodes de vignification. Petit bémol car l'image sur la photo n'est pas le lieu de dégustation... même si l'endroit y ressemble un peu, il n'est pas aussi majestueux que l'image.”
