This family owned and family friendly winery has a shop with wines and spirits but also fig jam, magnets and other souvenirs to look at. 

Fruit Vegetables
In addition to wines, we were shown the greenhouses, not of glass but some kind of opaque cloudy white material. Here in the warmth,  they grow tomatoes and vegetables for supermarkets and restaurants.

They are happy to tell you about their history. The business was originally small winery, bought from a Jewish man called Isak. Now the current owner's family have expanded the business. 

The winery is further south, further away from Tirana, the capital. They are well prepared for large groups, with food and tables. But when we were there were not overwhelmed with coach parties like the other two wineries which we saw in Berat. 

We loved out chats and seeing the fruit and vegetables as well as the wine.

Kantina means winery in Albanian.
