Veliko Tarnovo is hosting the Urban Wine Fest, organised by the Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals. "October is the month of Bulgarian wine and the richness of our local grape varieties," said Daniel Dragoshinov, a member of the association, as quoted by BTA.
Along the artisan street Samovodska Charshia, locals and visitors can sample over 45 wines made from 17 Bulgarian and Balkan grape varieties, while hearing engaging stories from wine experts. Festival tents house wine bars and gourmet corners, and live music from various bands adds to the festival's intoxicating atmosphere.
The festival, which forms part of the celebrations for International Mavrud Day on 26 October, shines a spotlight on Bulgaria’s indigenous grape varieties. Highlights include Mavrud, Shiroka Melnishka Loza, Rubin, Gergana, Melnik 55, Pamid, Cherven Misket, Vrachanski, Sandanski, Varna Misket and Keratsuda. Balkan classics such as Dimyat and Gamza, which have found a home in Bulgaria, are also featured.
The event is part of the cultural calendar of the old capital, celebrating Veliko Tarnovo’s rich heritage through wine, food, and music.
