Description

Good to Know

Bulgaria has one of Europe’s oldest wine traditions, and this experience brings that heritage to life through the wines of our region. What makes the tasting special is the opportunity to discover wines from small Bulgarian wineries and local producers that many international travellers have never encountered before. You’ll explore distinctive Bulgarian grape varieties such as Gamza, Red Misket and Dimyat, while your host shares the stories behind the wines, the wineries and the terroir that shapes them. But this isn’t a formal wine lesson. Using our professional 88-aroma kit, you’ll smell, compare, taste and discover the wines for yourself in a relaxed and interactive way. More than a tasting, it’s a journey into Bulgarian wine culture — right in the heart of Veliko Tarnovo.

Can I Give it 6 Stars?

This was an amazing experience. One of the highlights of our time in VT. Our wine tasting guide, Preslava, was AMAZING. I cannot say enough glowing things about her.

A Must Do Activity

My friend and I stopped in here when we were in Veliko Tarnovo a couple of weeks ago, and ended up having a fabulous time! We did the five wine tasting, and were able to choose what we wanted (white, red, rose). We chose red and rose, and they did not disappoint. Our server, Preslava, was absolutely wonderful.
