With a cheerful atmosphere and numerous activities, the lake town of Pogradec welcomes the traditional chestnut and wine festival. Many families from Pogradec have inherited from generation to generation a cellar where they produce artisanal wine.
This tradition they continue to maintain and compete over who produces the best wine.
