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.

Bulgaria has been producing wine for over 5,000 years — and nowhere is that heritage more alive than in Central Northern Bulgaria, the heartland of the country's most distinctive grape varieties. What sets this experience apart is access. We work exclusively with boutique family wineries and centuries-old cellars that you simply cannot visit on your own — producers who pour their entire identity into every bottle. You'll taste wines made from grape varieties found nowhere else on Earth: Gamza, Red Misket, and Dimyat — grapes that produce wines which are fresh, smooth, and effortlessly elegant. Your expert host will take you through the story of each winery, the unique terroir of the region, and why these local varieties are quietly becoming some of Europe's most exciting wines. This isn't a standard wine tasting. It's an introduction to a wine culture the world is only beginning to discover — and you'll experience it first, right here in Veliko Tarnovo.

A wine tasting where Bulgarian wine meets one of the region’s most distinctive gourmet flavours — truffles. Taste 5 carefully selected Bulgarian wines, including a special aged wine, paired with truffle specialties, aged cheeses and local delicacies. What makes this experience different is the pairing itself.

Your host will guide you through each pairing while sharing the stories behind the wines, Bulgarian grape varieties and local food traditions. Set in the historic Samovodska Charshia, this relaxed 90-minute experience is designed for travellers who want to taste Bulgaria, not simply visit it.
