Description

Escape the city and step into one of Bulgaria's most breathtaking settings — the ancient village of Arbanasi, just minutes from Veliko Tarnovo, where medieval history meets rolling vineyards and open skies. This is not a typical wine tasting. This is wine the way it was meant to be experienced — outdoors, among the vines, with the landscape of Central Bulgaria stretching around you. Your expert local guide will introduce you to 5-6 carefully selected boutique wines from the finest small wineries of Central Northern Bulgaria — producers you simply cannot discover on your own. Each wine is chosen to tell the story of the region: its soil, its climate, and the passionate winemakers who have dedicated their lives to it. As you taste, you'll be accompanied by a special selection of traditional local appetizers — artisan cheeses, cured meats, and regional specialties that perfectly complement every glass. Whether you arrive independently or join us with transport from the center of Veliko Tarnovo, we'll take care of everything so you can simply relax, sip, and soak in one of Bulgaria's most magical settings. What's included: 5-6 boutique Bulgarian wines Traditional local appetizers Outdoor tasting in a working vineyard Optional transport from Veliko Tarnovo Expert guided experience in English Available April through October — when the vines are at their most alive and the Bulgarian summer makes every sip unforgettable.
