Winery Description:

Monastery Winery is located in the village Openica, just 10km from Ohrid. Just below the St. Kuzman and Damjan Monastery, surrounded by the fresh air of the beautiful forest and a small river flowing by. This is a place where everyone can enjoy peace, nature, and, of course, our tasty wines. There is not a single household in the Ohrid region that does not make wine. There seems to be a special DNA particle for wine making curved into the people here. Like everyone else, we were also making delicious wines at home and sharing them with friends and family. After years of making and tasting, receiving compliments and praises, we decided to share our handmade wines with the world. We founded our small winery in 2019 and since then we’ve been making around 10.000 bottles of wine per year. We carefully handpick every single grape and give our utmost attention to all the processes that follow. We listen and let the wine tell us what it needs.
