Taste the ancient culture of South-Albania

Watch, participate and taste how to cook with the local seasonal items in the traditional Albanian way—tasters of the appetizers made with some local wine and beverages. You will be able to walk away with a recipe card so you may take it back with you to share with whomever you may want.
