Northern Greece, Albania & Macedonia: Ancient Lands of Alexander the Great itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: As I explored the monasteries of Meteora, I stood in awe atop pinnacles perched in a boundless sky. I later learned that the Greek word meteora translates to “suspended in the air,” and that’s exactly how I felt as I stood before nature’s grandeur and the unfathomable feats of mankind. For centuries, monks and nuns have found quiet solitude within these monasteries that are seemingly built into the sandstone cliffs. You’ll also get an intimate view into two of these historic sanctuaries alongside a local guide. Could there be any place more distinct in Europe than Albania? You’ll see for yourself when you get a firsthand look into the lives of locals living in the small Albanian village of Dhoksat. First, you’ll interact with the villagers and help them with their daily tasks before sharing a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family.

  • Rousse Pearl Muscat Rakia Brandy
    ROUSSE PEARL MUSCAT RAKIA BRANDY Vinprom Rousse Ltd., Rousse, Bulgaria LCBO #175067│40% alc./vol.│$29.95│700mL│ Release: 27-May-2017 This brandy matures in oak casks until it finalizes as drink with tender fruity- muscat aroma, combined with soft and deep body, a balanced and long aftertaste to be remembered. Rakia is the national drink of Southern Slavic nations disseminated on the Balkan Peninsula from the Arabic world. The name originates from the Arabic 'arak' which means 'sweat'. Bedouins explain they use the word 'sweat' because the day is poured with sweat while fruits are yielded from which the rakia is prepared. “The origins of rakia are unknown. The name is derived from the Arabic [ʕaraq] meaning "condensation" (which is the final phase of distillation), through the Turkish rakı, leading some to believe that it has some Middle Eastern influence and was developed in the Balkans during the Ottoman Empire era. Currently, there is no defined origin of rakia but there are many who claim to be the origins of the drink, most vocally Bulgaria, Serbia and Turkey.” (Wikipedia) Vinprom Rousse is a modern winery, located in the northern region, on the bank of the Danube ~170 m above the sea level. Established in 1948 as part of the state alcohol monopoly. Winery is among the largest (40 million liters per year capacity) in Bulgaria in production and exports (Russia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and the USA). Variety: Muscat 100% Serving suggestion and food pairing: Excellent as an aperitif. Especially food friendly to salads, cold dishes and appetizers.

  • How to Make Rakia
    8 STEPS OF MAKING BULGARIAN RAKIA Ракия (Rakia). Bulgarian moonshine. Firewater. White lightning. Whatever you call it, it’s the lifeblood of Bulgaria. It brings people together and connects them. 1. SELECT A FRUIT Rakia is typically made from fruit, so the first thing you need to do is choose one. Grape and plum rakias are the two most traditional varieties, 2. PICK AND GATHER THE FRUIT Grape vines and fruit trees grow plenty in Bulgaria, and most Bulgarians hand-pick the fruit they use to make rakia. With grapes, this means waiting until the right time in fall and bringing together friends and family for a grape-picking weekend. With other fruits, Bulgarians typically wait until the fruit is slightly overripe and wait until falls and its collected from the floor 3. MAKE JUICE Once you’ve collected the fruit, you mash it up, make juice, and dump it into a large barrel. The mashing process can be done by machine or the old-fashioned way – by hand or foot. 4. MESSURE THE SUGAR CONTENT After the fruit has been mashed into juice, you measure the concentration of sugar in the juice with a saccharometer (захаромер). An ideal reading for making rakia is 23°. Some people add sugar to reach the concentration level, but others are complete against using sugar. 6. STIR THE JUICE UNTIL IT FERMENTS The fruit juice will settle to the bottom, and the fruit skins will harden and float to the top of the mash. To make sure the juice ferments. it is necessary to push the fruit skins down and stir the juice once daily.
