Description

Enjoy a sampling of wine and a distinctly Montenegrin dinner while being serenaded at the Storia di Pietra winery in the village of Mirac. You will ascend the inland mountains along a wonderfully scenic and circuitous road with a stop to take in the panoramic views at Fort Goražda a 19th-century stronghold that overlooks Kotor. Not far away, you will find the Kašcelan family-owned winery, which will take on a golden glow as the sun begins to set. After an introductory tour, you will settle in for a tasting of wines that will likely include Vranac, a red varietal synonymous with Montenegro. An equally delightful dinner with dishes thoughtfully paired with other wines from Storia di Pietra will follow. To enhance the experience, a costumed musician will serenade you while playing the gusle, a single-stringed instrument. The songs – which are typically deeply moving heroic epics – will beautifully reflect the Montenegrin culture.
