About this activity

Combine Varna's rich history with Bulgarian wine culture on this intimate 4-hour walking tour limited to eight guests. Visit the Archaeological Museum, Roman Baths, and a Byzantine cathedral while sampling three local wines paired with appetizers, guided by a knowledgeable local expert.

If you love wine as much as you like walking, you’re in luck on this cultural sip-and-stroll tour of Varna. In a group of no more than eight, join your guide on a liquid journey of discovery, including no fewer than three separate tastings of Bulgarian wine. Along the way, explore Varna Archaeological Museum, the Roman Baths of Odessos, and the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin.

Wander through the archaeological museum and marvel at its vast collection of gold necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery. Learn how local discoveries changed historians’ perception of the development of civilization. 

Take a guided tour of the Roman Baths and visit the Dormition of the Mother of God Cathedral, all with a friendly, knowledgeable guide. Taste quality Bulgarian wines and appetizers. Learn more in-depth about our culture and lifestyle.

All that with a private local guide (or an e-guide, if you select the self-guided option) at your own pace and comfort.

  • Learn about Bulgarian wine with three tutored tastings.
  • Discover the history and archaeology of Varna in a group of maximum of eight.
