    A most enchanting and unique wine tasting experiences.

    Wine tasting in a medieval village was a new and unique experience. When we arrived we weren’t quite sure we were in the right place because of the unusual setting. The wines were very high quality and the owners are experienced and knowledgeable wine makers. The food was all homemade, abundant, and delicious. We will treasure this memory as one of our top experiences while visiting the Budva area.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your visit and kind word! It was a pleasure to host you!

    A beautiful wine tasting

    The host cared deeply about wine making and carrying on his family's tradition. He served an excellent cheese plate with ham, and an olive spread on home made biscuits. We finished with 4 different liqueurs from rajika. 10/10 would recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your visit and kind words! It was a pleasure to host you!

    Amazing, rustic and authentic winery. We really enjoyed our time here and the host was so friendly and knowledgeable - he had a real passion for wine and explained everything so clearly. The food and wines were all brilliant. I’d really recommend visiting Garnet for wine tasting - it was one of our favourite moment of our time travelling around Montenegro. Thank you very much

    Highly Recommend This Beautiful Wine Tour

    We had an amazing wine tour in Montenegro. Our hosts were so welcoming and knowledgeable about their wines. We loved the great conversations, delicious local snacks, and every wine we tasted was excellent. It was such a nice way to experience the local culture and feel the true heart of Montenegro. Highly recommend!

    Relaxed and informative evening

    The journey to the winery is interesting up winding roads but when you get there the welcome from Maya was warm and the evening relaxed. There was a really good offer of snacks to complement the wines and liqueurs we got to try which were excellent, I’d fully recommend this activity.

    Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Podgorica.

    How much does Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery cost?

    +

    Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Podgorica usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Podgorica is not rushed.

    Is Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Podgorica, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Podgorica can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Podgorica and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Podgorica within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Podgorica?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Podgorica experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Skadar Lake National Park Guided Boat Tour with Wooden Boat, Best from our coast (Kotor bay, Budva, Sv Stefan, Skadar lake), Private Full-Day Tour in Moraca and Tara Canyons, Durmitor & Biogradska Gora NP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Podgorica?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Podgorica?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; 1 glass of fruit liqueur or traditional brandy; and 3 glasses of different wines. Not included: Additional wine and spirits; and Souvenirs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery?

    +

    Winery Garnet is 5 km distant from Virpazar and you can reach it by car (10 minutes), by bike (25-30 minutes) or hiking (1 hour). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    +

    Is Wine and food tasting in the traditional winery wheelchair or stroller accessible?
