I had a wonderful time at the winery. I instantly felt welcomed by the family and other volunteers! It felt like a big family and everyone was there to help contribute! There's such a wide variety of tasks and things to do on the farm. From harvesting grapes, hosting guests, herding sheep, hanging out with the kiddos, Jon and Sihana, and the list goes on. The area is gorgeous and you will be fully immersed in the Albanian culture!

The winery is a place with a lot of local vibes, since I arrived I felt welcomed by the host family and also the other workers and volunteers of the winery, it feels really nice to have shared meals all together and some game nights! The work around the vineyard is really nice avoiding sunny hours, you will be able to learn about the process of how to make wine and raki! There are also nice spots near Shkoder and some rivers and canyons! I will recommend to go to the winery and enjoy the places around!

I had a really great time at the winery. From the beginning, Fatjon and his family made me feel very welcome and it didn't take long before I felt comfortable being part of their daily life. I'm really glad I chose the winery. It gave me a much more genuine experience of Albania and the area where they live and grew up in. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience rural life, work hard, meet good people and feel part of a family rather than just being a tourist. Such a beautiful place to be in with the sunset every night, the mountains and vineyard outfront.

My experience at Kantina Maní was wonderful. During my stay, I helped with the grape harvest, farm maintenance, and animal care, especially the sheep, which was one of the parts I enjoyed most. Fatjon and his family were very kind to me and made me feel welcome from the start. I also really enjoyed living with volunteers from different countries and getting a close-up look at life on a family farm. It was a challenging experience, but I'm leaving with great memories, new friends, and a strong desire to continue learning about life in the countryside.

I was staying at the winery farm for 15 days, it was my first solo trip and I had so much fun. We were picking the grapes from vineyards, pulling out the weeds, harvesting tobacco, milking sheep, babysitting, helping in the kitchen etc.
Food was delicious, and also one of my favourite parts of each day was eating together (everybody, volunteers and family).
I can say that i felt like a part of the family and that made my way back home so hard.
