Tasting of 3 Wines + Special Selection of Appetizers

Overview

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.

Activity itinerary

Some wines tell you everything in the first sip. Others reveal themselves slowly — layer by layer, aroma by aroma. This tasting is designed for both. You'll explore 3 carefully selected boutique wines from Central Northern Bulgaria's finest local wineries, guided by an expert host who brings the story of each wine to life — the vineyard, the grape, the vintage, and the terroir that makes this region unlike anywhere else in Europe. Before you even taste, you'll use our professional 88-aroma kit — the same tool used by certified sommeliers — to identify the hidden scents in every glass. It transforms the way you experience wine, permanently. The tasting includes: 3 boutique wines from local Central Northern Bulgarian wineries Artisan yellow cheese and regional cured meats Handcrafted cheese and sausages from local producers Olives, fresh bread, and mineral water Professional 88-aroma tasting set Expert guided experience in English Whether you're tasting wine for the first time or the thousandth — you'll leave knowing something you didn't before.
