About this activity

Taste premium Bulgarian wines in an intimate setting within Nessebar's UNESCO-listed Old Town, perched above the Black Sea. A local sommelier guides you through regional varietals paired with local cheeses, combining history, flavour, and coastal views in one hour.

In Nessebar's Old Town, sunlight danced on cobblestones as you entered a charming, vine-draped winery. Cool stone walls whispered of history, and the air thrummed with anticipation. On a terrace overlooking the Black Sea's turquoise embrace, crystal glasses awaited, each holding a promise of enchantment.

Your guide, a local with a twinkle in his eye, unveiled Bulgaria's secrets - the deep, earthy Mavrud, the crisp, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc, and the robust, oak-aged Melnik. Each sip, a journey through sun-drenched vineyards and family traditions. As the sun dipped, casting a golden glow, a cheese platter arrived, a symphony of flavors on your tongue. Laughter mingled with the sea breeze, creating an unforgettable tapestry of Bulgarian magic. You leaned back, the world slowing to the rhythm of waves, forever enchanted.

Escape to a haven for Bulgarian gems! Since the beginning, we've championed the finest small-batch Bulgarian wines.

Insider tips
