The Wine
Does Bulgaria have good wine?
Bulgarian wines are very good quality and Bulgarians have a very long tradition in wine making. The first records of wine producing in the territories of modern Bulgaria are dated back to 5000 years ago. There are five Bulgarian main wine regions, which are divided into smaller sub-regions: Dunavska Ravnina - Danubian Plain, Chernomorski Rayon - Black Sea region, Rozova Dolina - Rosental or Lower Balkan region, Dolinata na Struma - Struma Valley.

The precise cultivation of the vineyards is extremely important. Most cellars use traditional methods with predominantly manual labor and with minimal intervention to upgrade the qualities of the grapes and to create wines with a superior taste. Some of the must-try local types of traditional Bulgarian wines include Gamza, Broad-Leaved Melnik, Shiroka Melnishka Loza, Dimyat, Mavrud and Rubin. There are many others that can astound you with their rich flavor and good quality.
