Discover Bulgaria through its flavors on an exquisite wine and food journey.
We invite you to explore some of Bulgaria’s most famous wine regions while enjoying thoughtfully paired culinary delights.
A Rich Wine Heritage in Bulgaria
Wine has been known in the land of Bulgaria since ancient times. Archaeology, folklore, and literature provide rich evidence that wine grapes have thrived in these lands ever since the late Stone Age: grape growing and wine making were vital to the way of life of the Thracians, Romans, Greeks, Slavs and Bulgarians. The oldest Bulgarian wine cultures, existing nowadays and dating back to Thracian times – Pamid, Dimyat, Misket, Gamza, Mavrud and Broad Vine of Melnik grapevine- are going to be a part of this tour.
Taste Bulgaria: Wine Paired with Local Cuisine
Wine is best enjoyed with good food. Bulgarian cuisine – varied and so tasty – is a perfect accompaniment for the wine. Seasonal vegetables, aromatic herbs, different cheese and slow-cooked meats are the heart of Bulgarian cooking- every meal tells a story of place and tradition.
A must see& taste during this wine tour are:
Plovdiv – one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. It impresses the visitors with its beautifully preserved Old Town, elegant Revival-era houses, and ancient landmarks such as the Roman Theatre and Roman Stadium. The city’s creative energy is everywhere—from art galleries and museums to music, opera, and international festivals that fill Plovdiv with life throughout the year.
Set in the heart of the Thracian Valley, Plovdiv is also Bulgaria’s leading wine destination. The surrounding region is famed for its vineyards and the legendary Mavrud grape, producing rich, characterful wines with deep local roots.
The program includes a tasting of premium wines at Zagreus Winery, accompanied by a delicious lunch.
Melnik- Bulgaria’s smallest town, but one of its most iconic wine regions, located in the Struma Valley at the foot of the Pirin Mountains. Surrounded by picturesque sandstone rocks and sunny vineyards, Melnik has been famous for winemaking for centuries.
