5.00The 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.

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

5.00The 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.

5.00Lovely wine tasting at a small vineyard. The couple were very knowledgable about how the different wines were made, we found it very interesting. The food was delicious, lots of cheese, ham, dips, chocolate desserts. They were very generous with the wine, 4 wine and 4 fruit liqueurs each person! Fantastic views. All at a very relaxed pace so we could enjoy the wine while eating for a few hours.
Wine so good we forgot about the rain!

5.00We visited Winery Garnet in the middle of a terrible storm. Although this meant we didn't quite get the idyllic setting we were picturing, it did not dampen our experience! Mishko (sorry if I spelt it incorrectly) was a very welcoming and accommodating host - he gave us lots of information about the family wines and let us enjoy at our own pace. We spent a few hours tasting the various wines and spirits, and enjoying the delicious food we were given to share. The amount of food and liquor exceeded our expectations, and we truly had a fantastic afternoon, despite rain gushing everywhere and hammering on the terrace roof! I must mention Maja who I liaised with in detail prior to the tasting - she was extremely friendly and proactive in making arrangements for us, to ensure we could still enjoy our experience despite the storm. A big thank you!
An amazing and informative afternoon high in the mountains of Montenegro

Garnet Winery - wine tasting
NikolaS1100,Sep 2, 2024

5.00Just came back from a wine tasting at Garnet. What a wonderful experience! Misko was very kind and humble about his products, which was some of the best I have ever tried. From my previous wine tasting experience in southern Europe, this is definitely one of the top. I like how all products shows elegance and thoughts behind the production. Everything from the location, to the host to the presentation is really low key. The tasting is in some unpolished environments, which makes it more romantic and also easy to have a nice chat with others. The location is hidden, but google maps will show you the way. Very high recommendations from Copenhagen.
