Experience Authentic Northern Albania

Experience Authentic Northern Albania  From Olive Groves to Traditional Cuisine

A visit to our olive groves is more than just a harvest it’s a journey into the heart of authentic Albanian life.

Just beside our olive-growing area you’ll find Vreshta Vjetër, a traditional family restaurant where you can experience genuine “Kilometre Zero” Km 0 cuisine. Here, almost everything served on your plate is produced locally, following recipes that have been passed down through generations.

Taste the Flavours of the Village

At Vreshta Vjetër, freshness isn’t a trend it’s a way of life.

Enjoy seasonal vegetables and fruit grown in the surrounding countryside, locally raised meats supplied by nearby butchers, fresh eggs from village farms, homemade wine produced from the vineyards of the area, and delicious cheese made from the milk of our own cows.

Every meal reflects the traditions, hospitality, and flavours of Northern Albania.

A Perfect Day in Nature

After harvesting olives and enjoying a traditional lunch, take in the breathtaking scenery surrounding the village.

Relax in the shade while overlooking the spectacular Gryka e Manatit hills and vineyards, where rolling green landscapes meet the mountains. It is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and experience rural Albania at its finest.

Close to the Sea

Although surrounded by peaceful countryside, you’re never far from the coast.

The beautiful Rana e Hedhun Beach near Shëngjin is only 4 miles about 10 minutes by car away, making it easy to combine a day of olive harvesting, traditional food, and a visit to one of Albania’s most stunning beaches.

Vreshta Vjetër also offers plenty of parking and comfortable outdoor seating, allowing you to relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air and panoramic views.
