History

Dionysus was the god of wine once revered by the Thracians who lived in Bulgaria. What better way to celebrate the history of the country than to tour its delicious offerings of wine and food? We can’t think of anything.

 

Splendors of Bulgaria will put you in touch with experts on the cultural heritage of the country while taking you on a tour of some of the most significant areas in history. You’ll explore the Thracian Tombs near Kazanluk, the Black Sea Coast and the 10th-century Rila Monastery. The tour also travels along the Danube riverside.

 

A prominent and particularly memorable stop on the tour is the Neolithic houses of Europe built around 6,000 B.C. They’re the oldest remaining homes on the continent. The tour also includes four sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage site.

Along the way you’ll meet locals, experience their customs and, perhaps most importantly, be able to sample delicious wine and food made fresh just for you. You’ll even participate in baking with some of the people you meet. Finally, engage with experts in a variety of fields at local museums, wineries and get to know some of the finest musicians the country has to offer.

 

It’s an incredibly well-rounded experience that allows you to sample the best of everything in Bulgaria.
