7 reviewed
Bulgaria has been making wine since the Thracians and exports very little of the good stuff, which is the whole argument for tasting it here. Below: cellar visits in Sofia, vineyard days in the Thracian valley and around Melnik, how many pours each includes, and what you pay.
A one-hour Sofia wine tasting at Tempus Vini featuring five Bulgarian native grapes, plus cheese and breads, guided in English.

A 1-hour boutique Bulgarian wine and tapas tasting in Sofia, with 5 to 6 wines, meat, cheese, bread, and a history lesson.
“Very cute and well decorated boutique. The wines were good and the owner took the time to present them and answer our questions. The presentation of wines is a bit monotonic though and could use a bit more livelyness.”
