Old town of Plovdiv with wine tasting tour

The tour starts from Sofia by picking you up at 9 a.m from the hotel that you are staying. The cliche "you must see Plovdiv to see Bulgaria" is absolutely true and there is so much to explore in the country's second largest town. Plovdiv is about 1,5 hours drive from Sofia and is situated in the western part of the Thracian Valley. It is one of the oldest settlements in the world, having emerged on the three adjacent hills – the beginning of its history dates back to 4,000 years BC. It has preserved Thracian, Roman and Bulgarian heritage from different epochs. There will be a 2 hour walking tour in the heart of the town and you will learn lots of historical facts and legends while exploring its most interesting sightseeing places- the Roman Stadium and Theater, the main pedestriant street, the old Revival town.
After the sightseeing tour, you will go to a traditional winery where you will have the chance to try some of the best Bulgarian red wines. Wine production in Bulgaria is a big and important part of the economy. The Bulgarian lands are rooted in ancient civilizations which have left an indelible imprint on modern Bulgaria. The ancient Thracians, who populated the land worshipped the gods Zagreus and Dionysius and used the wine during religious rituals. Nowadays, Bulgaria is a proud producer of great quality wines, some of which are made from unique sorts of vine.
