Discover Centuries Of Wine Making
Our tour takes us to boutique wineries down the length of the Struma Valley in the south west of Bulgaria. This valley is noted for its very hot climate which produces the distinctive rich and fruity red wines for which this area, and Melnik in particularly, is famous.

New for 2026: Wine & Walk
The Broad Leaved Melnik Vine is local grape variety developed specifically for this region. Allow yourself to be enchanted by the rich complex flavours of Winston Churchill’s favourite wine.
Man Shall Not Live By Red Alone…
Whilst this valley is mostly famed for its red wines, the Sandanski Misket is a white wine variety specifically designed to thrive in this area. Many of the local boutique wineries which we visit produce exceptionally good white wines, rose wines and in one instance ‘orange’ wine!
