 Nature and humans have conspired to conceive an evergreen spot of iconic scenery and tradition. This meeting point is the village of Roshnik, situated some 25 minutes of driving from Berat downtown. The region of Berat is rich in touristic attractions and remarkable villages; yet Roshnik stands out. A historically important area, the village is situated in a strategic location of the ancient Via Egnatia. Due to a unique combination of favorable climate conditions, the village is blessed with lush nature year-round.

As the residents of Roshnik, known for the production of figs will no doubt tell
you, a dried fig is a wine’s best friend, along with a generous platter of local cheese varieties and other
seasonal relishes.
