Explore Skadar Lake by boat or kayak, meet local people and taste homemade traditional products, wine and food, in the small family winery. Ejoy panorama of Budva Riviera and St. Stephan island and take a kayak to explore the lake on your own...
Sveti Stefan island is the biggest attraction in Riviera of Budva. The former fishing village situated on a peninsula became a hotel-town 50 years ago and since then is visited by Holywood stars and Royal families.
On other side, Virpazar is a small town on the shores of the lake, but once it was of strategic significance that even the Turks built a fortress above the city that also was used by occupiers in WWI as a prison for the Montenegrin population.
Today this small town is the most popular tourist town in this region of the National Park and the place from where we start the kayaking experience (or lake boat cruising, on request)
Lake Skadar has been a protected National Park since 1983, and in 2011 was formally nominated for UNESCO heritage status.
The lake is a birder's paradise, with more than 260 different species including the rare Dalmatian pelican.
This is not all for today. Villages around the lake are famous for wineries used to produce the famous Montenegrin red wine Vranac, a product that Montenegrins are extremely proud of!
As well as wine, locals are proud of brandy and food specialties, which are mostly presented with the story of origin. That's why we have chosen the best small family winery for your special and unique experience.
Just a short drive from Virpazar, we will be welcome by our host and the wine-maker with a great knowledge about the region, food, wine and brandy.
After the story of the village, there follows a story of wine and brandy in a modest family wine cellar there follows the tasting of wine, then snacks and brandy tasting are next on the tour's menu.
As much as you want the beautiful days to never end, the end must come. With us, the end comes with a beautiful view.
Note: All of our tours are private, tailor-made tours. Please feel free to create your own tour.
