About the Activity
Located near the famous archaeological site of Stobi, Lazar Winery is the perfect destination for a one-day wine getaway. After a comfortable ride, guests arrive at an elegant estate that combines a winery, restaurant, and scenic vineyards.
The visit begins with a guided walk through the wine cellar and an explanation of the production process, followed by a tasting session in the elegant tasting room. Guests enjoy a selection of carefully chosen wines, with a special focus on the fresh and popular Graševina variety. Each wine is paired with a course from the winery’s restaurant — from modern salads and flavorful appetizers to delicious main dishes and desserts that complete the experience.
Surrounded by vineyards, the winery offers the chance to stroll, take photos, and enjoy the beauty of the Tikveš wine region — making this more than just a tasting, but a journey through nature, flavor, and local history.
There is also the option to visit the Stobi Archaeological Site, the largest and most significant in North Macedonia. Located near the village of Gradsko, at the confluence of the Vardar and Crna rivers, Stobi dates back to ancient times and flourished during the Roman Empire and early Christianity. Visitors can admire its preserved amphitheater, basilicas, and exquisite mosaic floors — a true cultural treasure that tells the story of Macedonia’s rich heritage.
