    Fantastic!

    Out of my many wine tasting experiences around the world, I can certainly say this one was my best one!! The winery was beautiful with a lot to offer; the family was in the wine business for 8 generations which was impressive. Also I would like to thank our tour guide Priyanka for arranging everything beautifully and professionally; I was traveling with a toddler and having a play area for the kid allowed me to enjoy my free time guilt free.. thanks again for making this experience a memorable one.

    Response from the operator: I am glad you enjoyed your tour with us. Thank you for the review, and we look forward to hosting you the next time.

    Magnificent day trip!

    This was probably one of the best winery tours and wine tastings! Priyanka was so passionate about Montenegrin wines. She gave us a great overlook, and history on the winery, as well as an outstanding wine tasting paired with some local foods. We were so amazed at how amazing each wine was. The tasting was so wonderful, and each pairing was a perfect match! I can't say enough on how impressed we were with this wine tour. The winery, the setup, the atmosphere, and the wines were just spectacular! Totally recommended!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to host you. I am glad you enjoyed the tour.

    Wine tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Wine tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $169 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 tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise?

    +

    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 tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wine tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wine tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise 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 tour- Family winery visit, food tasting & Skadar Lake boat cruise?

Not included: Personal Expenses, Souveniers; National Park Skadar Lake Ticket - 5 Eur per Person if booked the boat cruise; and Optional activity - boat cruising 1hour-45 Eur for up to 12 people.
