A Fantastic Experience - I had a wonderful time on this experience. We walked to two small and cozy wine bars and one restaurant. Each location was very unique and not a place I would have found on my own. We sampled two wines and had some snacks at each location. Pavlin, the host, is very knowledgeable on Bulgarian wines and provided a great deal of info on the subject. But was also had a great discussion of modern Bulgaria and his personal experiences. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour! - We had a great time on the Sofia wine walk. Pavlin was so friendly, knowledgable and passionate which made the experience really enjoyable even for people like us who know nothing about wine! There were plenty of different wines to enjoy and some very delicious nibbles. All the settings were also very nice and it was a good opportunity to discover some nice restaurants. Overall well worth doing we are so glad we did!

Great way to learn about Bulgarian wines - We tasted 2 Bulgarian wines at each of 3 different venues, so 6 wines in total. The wines were very well chosen, with a good variety. The tour was a nice relaxed pace, and it took nearly 4 hours. It was a lovely way to spend an evening. Pavlin, the guide, is extremely knowledgeable and gave a lot of information about each wine and about Bulgaria's wine industry. I learnt a lot, enjoyed all the wines, and I bought a couple of the wines we tasted to take home with me (that particular venue was a wine shop/bar). I highly recommend this tour. Loved it!
