👍👍 Be careful to always book upfront. Even now in January is fully booked. House antipasta is not a dish, it is full table as in the photo and it costs ridicoulosly cheap, only 10 Euro for two. Service is great and improving everyday. For those in the area, is a must visit place. Content:Byrek, humus,... People often mention wine, tour, wines, staff, Duka, nice,

    We were here a couple of days ago and we had such a good time. We got to see the vineyard, the winery and got to taste the wine whilest sitting by the lake. The tourguide really took his time for us and he was great company! We even went on a little trip on the lake by boat. We highly recommend going here! It is so beautiful and a lot of fun. Plus, the wine is great

    We came here during our trip to Albania. This restaurant was the best thing that happened to us in Durres! The staff was speaking good English, the food was fantastic and the wine (and the desert!) was marvelous! The only thing that we were worried about was the fact that we are to much! I loved the place. Driving was worse it. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to all my friends. Folks who opened this amazing place - please keep it up. You are amazing.

    Spectacular experience! We had the BEST time here, with incredible wines and exceptional service from Andi who explained the wines very well and with so much warmth. I recommend the Merlot, and the young goat cooked in oven. The grounds are so beautiful. I love this place! Thank you Duka Winery and thank you so much, Andi!!!!

    The food was nice, the tour was good. However, the staff was very slow and the service took forever even when they had so many tables for free. The guy I was texting to while making appointment for the tour barely texted back, haven’t replied to my emails and whenever I called him, he never called back. The whole organization sucked as no one explained anything and barely talked to us so didn’t have wine tasting at all. We only tried 2 wines

    We visited the Duka winery yesterday and had a fantastic experience. We arrived as a group of 10, including children, and felt very accommodated and looked after. The food was delicious (the porcini truffle risotto was one of the best dishes I've tasted in Albania so far!). After lunch, a couple of the adults went for a tour and a wine tasting, and the other group took the children kayaking on the scenic lake. On the wine tour, there were gorgeous views across the valley, and learned a lot about how Duka makes their wines. Afterwards, we tasted a selection of wines, all very lovely. My favourite from the day was the cabernet sauvignon reserve. I highly recommend this as a great family day out, something for everyone, in a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere.

    Nice place for having some traditional tapas and some wine if you want. Asked the evening before about the opening times. They responded very quickly via whatsapp. Perfect

    We were here in May 2023, tourist season has not begun yet so we were the only ones on the tour. We had some explanation around the winery, everything looks really organized. The tour was not super spectacular, but maybe it’s better when there are more people. We also had some wines with degustation, which was really good.

    Well spent day with breathtaking views and nice food. The staff are really welcoming, which is one of the many Albanian virtues. You can have a wine tour and buy local wine. Highly recommended 👌

    Arrived here without having called up front. Lucky for us the new restaurant had just opened the day before. We had a delicious lunch with many tasty local dishes. Hostess was very kind and spoke English fluently.

    Really lovely place with very nice staff! We arrived in the afternoon for a little wine tasting and had a plate of ham and cheese to accompany the house wines. Nice view over the lake. Highly recommend it!

    We ended up in the Kantina Duka / Duka Winery in our last day in Albania (we’re Brazilians). We did not like the food in our hotel and decided to look for something nearby. It turned out to be the best service, food and setting we had in our whole trip through North Macedonia and Albania. The staff is friendly. There was a small yard with children toys and most importantly the food and wine were just great! One one side you have winery views and on the other wine views. Just go there and try! :)
