About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 59gunam0 contributionsA great experience!We went to this winery for a tour and a wine tasting afterwards. In short, this is a family owned winery that makes really great wines and during the tour provided an expirience that is more than worth the price of the tour. During the tour you get to hear about the wine making process in this specific winery and hear about its origins, as well as some fascinating facts about Macedonian wines and wine making in general. We didn't come with a large knowledge or experience in wine making or wine tasting, but left way more knowledgable as well as had quite a bit of fun. The owners are very friendly, the place is pretty and the wine selection is great.Written August 22, 2024
- TAmos07860 contributionsHighly RecommendI highly recommend this experience. Our hosts were knowledgeable and friendly. The wine was excellent. Convenient to Skopje!Written May 27, 2024
- piledriver-waltz0 contributionsSuch a great selection of wineBefore arriving in North Macedonia I didn’t even know they made wines, but I certainly do now. Had a lovely time at the wine tasting where the owners told us about the manufacturing process before we tried six different wines. My main problem was to decide which one to buy and bring home, because they were all really good. It was also a good thing we didn’t have lunch before, because we got a tray full of ham, salami, cheese and bread during the tasting. For logistics: we got a taxi one-way for 360 MKD. Some other people who were there at the same time took the bus so that is also an option. All in all: would thoroughly recommend.Written October 7, 2023
- Decio1540 contributionsThe pleasure of learning about wine making processKartal was undoubtedly a great experience that you must do in Skopje. Jordan and Filip are very kind and truly desire to transmit their passion for wine. The tour is interesting and so is the winery. Concerning the wines, congratulations, they are all delicious, Vranec was my favourite. The food delicacies are more than enough for 2. The price is correct, I paid 2460 MKD, which is 40€. Look forward to coming back !Written September 26, 2023
- Sofie R0 contributionsAuthentic, beautiful and tasteful wine tour.Jordan told eagerly about the wine and how it’s made at the wine yard. The wine was amazing and we had plenty of cheese and ham on the side! We loved the energy of Jordan and Philip and the experience in total. Would defiantly recommend. EnjoyWritten May 27, 2023
- Snezana S0 contributionsUnique wine tasting expirience in SkopjeVery unique wine expirience, wine tasting tour hosted by the owners themselves. High quality wines. Beautifully spent a couple of hours. If you visit Skopje don't miss Kartal winery.Written May 22, 2023
- ssyma0 contributionsGreat atmosphere!Everything was great. We tried 6 different wines and liked them all. Brothers were very friendly and super kind. If you are in Skopje you should extremely visit this place.Written March 11, 2020
- Velce0 contributionsTime well spent!!!Just a few minutes away from downtown Skopje, this hidden gem, Kartal Winery, is must to visit place while visiting Skopje. Owned by two brothers, Jordan & Filip Kartalov, who personally greed you and give you a great tour of the winery; they are also great tourist guides of Macedonian history and excellent hosts. Their tasting room is a great place to spend a few hours chatting, enjoying great food and excellent wine. Very friendly atmosphere. We had 6 different wines to taste and all of them were well paired with great local cheeses and meats. All in all great experience! Highly recommended place to visit. My wife and I had a great time and we’ll definitely go back.Written September 9, 2019
- DarahLue0 contributionsIncredible Experience at Kartal WineryMy husband and I went Kartal Winery to taste their wines and learn about the process of making wine. We really loved the entire experience, the wine, and the meats and cheeses they offered with the wines. Philip and Jordan were great hosts! It was easy to talk to Jordan about wine, Skopje, and traveling in general. Definitely one of the best experiences in Skopje!Written July 27, 2019
- SandraNip0 contributionsDelicious wine-tasting and great atmosphereWe arranged a wine-tasting with our group of 20 students, and were greated warmly by Jordan (the owner, who also arranged taxi's for us!). First we enjoyed the tour through the winery and after that the delicious wine-tasting, including a little story with every kind of wine. I would definitely recommend this place!Written May 5, 2019
- gelkr0 contributionsExcellent wine tasting experienceAfter suggestions from others here at Trip advisor we decided to contact the winery and book a wine tasting. Everything went perfect, after looking at their web page I got in touch by e-mail (and got a quick respond). The winery is located outside of the city and you will pas thru some industrial areas before you get there. You would definitely need a taxi if you don't have your own transport - and it can be a bit tricky to find. Anyway, if the owners are expecting you they will keep their eyes open. The two brothers; Filip and Jordan - who are the owners - gave us a nice tour around the winery and explained the wine making process. After that we went upstairs were they had set a nice table for us with lots of cheese, bread, ham and sausages - and of cause different types of wine. Jordan led us thru the tasting and told us about each and every wine as we tried. The wine is of good quality and you will have the opportunity to taste some different white as well as red wines. We had the most wonderful time at Kartal winery and as we left Skopje two days later we all agreed that this was one of the absolute "high lights" of our first trip to Skopje. I absolutely recommend a visit to Kartal winery and hopefully I will be back again!Written February 20, 2019
- Suur_D0 contributionsGood wine and great hostsHighly recommended to visit this garage winery. Brothers Jordan and Philip organise a great tour of the winery and the tasting with local cheeses and charcuterie is excellent. On top of everything it is always a great chat. One recommendation: book the visit before you go.Written October 27, 2018

Great visit to this family winery. Given the great wine tradition in this country, a wine tour/tasting was essential and it did not disappoint us at all.
Jordan is an exceptional host, explaining both the wine creation process and the tasting afterwards with incredible simplicity and ease of understanding.
Furthermore, in a plan like this you always meet interesting people and this was our case. We gave it a 10. Totally recommended whether you are an expert or an amateur in this small and complex world.

This was amazing, Jordan is an amazing host with an incredible depth of knowledge of the wine making process and Macedonia’s rich history of wine. The wine was accompanied with a charcuterie board of which different foods were recommended for consumption with each wine. I would highly recommended this if you are in Skopje with friends or family - a great time!

We happened to be the only ones with a booking on a Friday noon. Parts of the winery were under seasonal maintenance, but we got a thorough introduction to wine making and quality assurance, issues we never understood well before, despite many winery visits. The winetasting was great and took longer than expected, mostly due to us diverting the discussion towards all sides of life in Macedonia and elsewhere in Europe. We started with a rose, followed by two very different whites and three red wines. All were of excellent quality and it is a shame that there is a limit to what we could take along. The host was truly knowledgeable and hospitable and we were happy to have chosen- and found - this hidden gem.

The owners are very nice and friendly and we loved the personalised wine tasting with the owners, who told us about the history of winr-making in Macedonia as well as their personal experiences. Had a nice chat with them while tasting the delicious wines. They really made us feel welcome. The winery is easy-reach from Skopje city centre by taxi. Highly recommended for any wine-lovers visiting Skopje.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable two hour wine tasting event. The hosts are a father and his two sons, who are so nice. You are treated like family. You get a tour of the wine production facility, then you taste half dozen wines; some white and some red. All with meats, cheeses, and breads. And chocolates and apples, too.
The wine tasting happens in a comfortable tasting room with a beautiful view. You are not rushed, and you leave with an appreciation for the hard work that goes into making these world-class wines.
The winery is approximately 6km from Macedonia Square/city center. That's a 250 Dinar (4 Euro), 15 minute taxi ride. They will call you a taxi for the ride back home.
This is one of the nicest ways to spend a few hours in Skopje. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Great hospitality of two brothers, Jordan and Filip. Jordan took us to the wine cellar tour and after we went to tasting room where both Jordan and Filip explain each wine at the table. Jordan took his time and seat with us while explaining. My favourites were Chardonnay, Merlot and Vranec. I recommend visit to Kartal Winery to everyone.

We had a lovely afternoon with Jordan and Filip, the brothers who run this family winery. They clearly have a passion for making wine and it showed in both the tour of their facility and in the wine tasting! We learned about their wines (and Macedonian varieties of wine, more generally) and also what to look/smell/taste for when trying out the different wines. We have visited many wineries in the Skopje region and this was the most personal and professional experience we have had! We will be going back whenever Kartal releases a new wine.... or just when we want to enjoy a nice glass of oaked Vranec : )

The experience was really great! Jordan really made us feel at home during this educational wine tasting. You can tell how much fun he has telling us about his passion! The wine was delicious, the snacks were great and Jordan was genuinely interested in all our questions. We even got a bottle to take with us as a gift! Highly recommended, rarely experienced such a good tour! :)

So worth the trip - tiny but with such a nice inside tasting room and a really cool basement where they agr all of their wine. Tour and discussion was lovely with the co owner and most importantly - the wine was truly delicious. Every single one I tasted I would happily buy (I bought 3 bottles) and they even made me happily drink a Chardonnay (my least favorite wine). Phew those reds are good. Definitely recommend!
