Our Heritage

A Name Rooted in History

Apollonia was an ancient city on the Albanian coast β€” a place where beekeepers practiced their craft for thousands of years. When Dritan and Albana Qose left Albania for Calgary, they carried that legacy in the name they chose for their honey wines.

The honey is Alberta's. The tradition is Albanian's. The result is something entirely our own.

It's a story of two homes β€” one ancient, one chosen β€” and the golden thread that connects them. Every bottle of Apollonia is a small tribute to that journey.
