Located in the immediate vicinity of the cave church of St. Erasmus with a view to the blueness of the Ohrid lake and the white peaks of the Jablanica mountain, there lives an interesting story about wine that we want to share with all well-wishers and positive people of today’s life.
We have opened new doors to the long-written history of the heat of the Chekoshtina sun.

thechineckJanuary 25, 2024beautiful location, family atmosphere and the best wine in Macedonia - this is how this winery can be briefly described. A must-see in Ohrid.Stojan StojanovskiJanuary 24, 2024liran zOctober 27, 2023Beaufitul homey place. The hosts were so kind and generousGuilherme PaschoalSeptember 27, 2023Local winery ran by two brothers following the family tradition. I can't put in words how kind and friendly they are. What a great evening i spent there. I am writing this while my stomach is so full with all the delicious appetizers they served, it was A LOT! I'm even inspired to reproduce the melons, cheese and grape sauce appetizer at home. They have very good wines, specially the Temjanika for the white wines and the Vranec for the red ones.Tamara MSeptember 23, 2023riste georgievSeptember 21, 2023Sara MarcusSeptember 18, 2023What a beautiful location. Two brothers who run the vineyard and make their wine with passion. The wines are very tasty, just like all the snacks that they serve with the tasting. We thought we wanted to have dinner somewhere afterwards, this was anything but necessary because we had received so much tasty food. We had a perfect evening at this great place.Сузана ПаункоскаSeptember 16, 2023In vino veritas!!! Да во виното е вистината, а вистината е доколку сакате да вкусите локално автентично 100% охридско вино надополнето со врвна храна тогаш сте на вистинското место.Автентичен амбиент надополнет со врвна услуга од страна на сопствениците Николче и Ванчо Шутароски The best????????KristynaSeptember 14, 2023We found this place randomly on Google and decided to try something local. We chose 45€ package with 2white and 3 red wines, 3 homemade brandy, yummy chery liqueur and BBQ and I must say it was fabulous, we had the whole place for ourselves (4ppl). The owners are really nice brothers who took care of us as a family. We recommend to not have much to eat before as there is plenty of delicious food served and we were leaving full and happy. We recommend to take a taxi there as we went by walk and it was quite adventures :-D (but possible). If you are looking for something local and unusual, this is great option!! Thank you guys for everything ❤️Simon SorgSeptember 11, 2023Hatten einen super Abend. Die Weine sind lecker und die zwei Brüder extrem nett. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß. Zwischen den Weinen werden mehrere Snackplatten mit lokalen Snacks gereicht. Wir haben leider den Fehler gemacht und waren vor der Weinprobe essen. Ein kleiner Snack davor reicht, da die Platten üppig und deftig belegt sind. Die Flaschen wurden uns hingestellt und wir durften selbst entscheiden, wie viel wir davon trinken möchten. Wer hier nüchtern heim geht, muss das schon selbst so wollen. ???? Die zwei Brüder haben uns noch ein Taxi gerufen und es war sogar günstiger, als das Taxi, was wir uns selbst bestellt haben um dort hinzukommen. Gelungener Abend. Absolut empfehlenswert.

- Golden Mask - The necropolis of Trebenishta, Ohrid - Macedonia
Ohrid, the city of Light, after two and a half millennia, showed us again the golden immortal faces of his angels. The discovery of priceless treasures from Trebenishta village which is located on the road Ohrid-Kičevo was like a movie. Ancient Macedonian tombs from the first half of 1st millennium BCE loaded with gold, silver, and rich royal burial gifts. On September 30, 2002, the fifth consecutive golden mask was found, which is a rare practice in archaeology. In less than a century, or more precisely for 84 years, although at a not big distance, in a country that actually cannot invest a lot in expensive excavations, five golden masks were found!
