My amazing seventh day in Albania concluded in the historical UNESCO town of Berat! Come with me as I enjoy endless Albanian food and wine at Alepta Winery and Castle Park Hotel in Berat, Albania!

My boy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I started our afternoon and evening adventures in Roshnik, Albania, about a 25-minute drive from Berat.
Alpeta Agrotourism & Winery is one of the best in the area. It was founded by the Fiska family in 1991. I met with Daniel from the winery, who showed us around the property. Right inside, they have a super unique bathroom inside a huge barrel!
Then, we checked out their terraces and met the owner, Petrit, who took me to see the some sana berries and some anise.
Next, we saw some grapes that ripen in the winter, some figs, and a hiking trail to the nearby manmade lake. Then, we saw an orchard of young olive trees. Then, I tried some sweet red grapes!
During our tasting, we had a dry and fruity white pules wine and a full-bodied and fantastic merlot kabernet! Next was a strong and smooth grape Raki Rrushi, an herbal rakija, and an almond rakija!
Then, I met Ardit, the general manager, who showed me how they make rakija. I tried more rakija there, including some served in a pepper!
Then, I tried some young merlot kabernet straight from the tank in their winery. Then, we visited the restaurant, which is gorgeous and has a beautiful open-air garden terrace and a second terrace upstairs.
Next, Erjan and I drove to Castle Park Hotel back in Berat, which looked like a castle! I met Alma and went inside. In their beautiful indoor dining hall, I tried some fresh and pure peach juice and then went to my room.
It looked like a room in a castle and had a king-sized bed and a twin bed, as well as a modern bathroom with a bidet, toilet, and shower. I also had a balcony that overlooked the terrace!
Then, it was time for dinner. Alma is the president of slow food in Berat! In addition to wine, the area is also known for its olives and olive oil. We had olives, fig salad, chicken, lamb with seven herbs, byrek with tomatoes and herbs, wild cabbage, stuffed eggplant, stuffed grape leaves, cheese, a huge loaf of homemade bread, and more! We also had rakija!
The wine was nice and smooth and it warmed me up! Then, they made some lakror that’s made of bulghur and corn and baked on a fire in a huge oven! There were musicians playing traditional music.
Then, I watched the cook prepare Berati schnitzel, which is made of pounded beef that’s stuffed with cheese and breaded. Erjan and I toasted with some rakija which is good for your heart!
The eggplant stuffed with onion and red pepper was so good, and the japrak (grape leaves stuffed with rice) was so tasty. Next, I tried a huge forkful of what I thought was cheese but was actually butter! It was so good, though! There was also some crumbly cheese, too! The stuffed pepper was also amazing, as was the fig salad and the cabbage salad. I loved the sour fresh yogurt, and the tomato-and-onion byrek was to die for!
Next was an amazing turkey that was better than the one I had at Thanksgiving and some incredible, fatty lamb! Then, we had a dessert that’s similar to baklava but it’s made faster. They say it’s also more tasty!
We ended with some more rakija and more desserts, including one that was like ice cream with cherry marmalade!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 12 years, I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,100 destinations in 77 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my KZread channel, travel blog, and social media sites.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local history and culture.

I didn't said anything bad about Albania, I don't understand why is so bad to have a respect to the other people how is another religion or nation, I am a Serbian nationality and for example I have very good friends form Albania who are different religion, but we don't have any problem about that. Put the politics to the side. And enjoy in life 😉
