Food Tour in Albania is an immersive culinary experience that typically involves exploring the country’s rich and diverse food culture through guided visits to local markets, restaurants, farms, or historical sites tied to Albanian cuisine. It’s a way to taste traditional dishes, learn about their origins, and understand how Albania’s history, geography, and blend of Mediterranean, Balkan, and Ottoman influences shape its food. These tours are led by our local experts who share stories and insights, making it both a gastronomic and cultural journey for you.

On an Albanian Food Tour, you might sample dishes like byrek (a flaky pastry filled with cheese, meat, or spinach), fergesë (a hearty mix of peppers, tomatoes, and cottage cheese), or tave kosi (baked lamb with yogurt). Together we could visit coastal towns like Saranda for fresh seafood, or inland regions like Korçë for savory meats and homemade rakia (a strong fruit brandy). Expect to encounter warm hospitality, seasonal ingredients, and perhaps even hands-on cooking lessons or wine tastings, as Albania’s burgeoning wine scene is gaining attention.
