It is time for celebrating Mavrud and local Bulgarian wine varieties for second time! …

Гостуване и интервю по Bloomberg TV Bulgaria по теми като винен туризъм, конкурентни възможности преди алтернативния туризъм за България, тенденции по света и унас, БАВП и Международен ден на мавруда, нуждата от стратегии и съвместна работа между изб…

Да празнуваме Празника на виното и любовта заедно – ето акцентите на едно интересно предложение / винен тур, в партньорство с винен бар WINEGROUND bottles and beans от/до Варна между 11 и 16 февруари 2022: 👉Посещение на 7 винарни, 2 винени бара и 1 бъчварница в района на Североизточна България…

Скъпи приятели, изпращаме още една сложна година. Благодаря на всички, които се докоснаха до винената магия с мен, както и на моите партньори! И отново гледаме ведро напред – към 2022г. и нови винено-кулинарни преживявания, които да ни развеселяват, …

As a part of the organizing team and Chairman of the Board of Bulgarian Association of Bulgarian Wine Professionals here are a few highlights from the first edition of the International Mavrud Day. First of all it was a huge pleasure for me to work with my fellow colleagues and…

The latest issue (#42 / July-Sept. 2021) of the leading Bulgarian wine magazine DiVino is exclusively dedicated to wine tourism. Nearly 80 pages with analysis, travelogues, notes, reports, statistics, trends, hints and all kind of useful information for wine lovers and keen travelers! It was a huge pleasure for me to…

Толкова близо, а всъщност толкова далеч… Скъпи винени любители, замисляли ли сте се колко е лесно да открием вино от Испания, Чили или Нова Зеландия, а колко трудно (нерядко и невъзможно) e да опитаме вино от съседните ни страни? Да, понятия като маркетинг и реклама, винени нации, големи производители, силни…

In February 2021 two respected “wine” ladies from Plovdiv – Krasimira Kodukova (Wine Tour Maker) and Gergana Todorova (Winetours.bg) – conducted a research on WINE TOURISM IN BULGARIA. In my opinion its results might be useful and interesting even outside of my country. So I have translated the analysis in…

There is no doubt that the most reliable and professional annual wine ranking in Bulgaria is being organized by DiVino. Renowned experts, transparent rules, fair approach… That all means respectively a real prestige and recognition for the awarded wines. For the tenth consecutive year, at the beginning of 2021, the…

I had the pleasure to moderate on last Saturday, 20th of March a very interesting event – organized by one of my favorite wine wine places in Bulgaria (but not only): Uva Nestum Wine & SPA, part of their series “Wine Adventures”. This time it was dedicated to South Sakar –…

North Bulgaria is often being somehow underestimated when wine lovers think about local wine and tourism. With the much bigger density of wineries, better developed wine routes, its various nature, infrastructure and tourism in general our South has arguably the leading role. I don’t want to set a border line…

През 2020, годината на многото “Т” – тегава, тъпа, трудна, тъмна и т.н. – изгряха 2 светли лъча на литературно-винения небосклон у нас. Сменям обаче стила, че ще вземе да стане прекалено… Започвам с още малко патос и шедьовъра (не е пресилено) на Яна Петкова „а,б, вино“. Все още не…

2020г. ще остане в историята – едва ли някой се съмнява в това. За съжаление, пандемията покоси туризма по безпрецедентен начин. 100% анулация или отлагане на всички мои турове през годината с чужди гости – нещо, градено години наред рухна за дни. Доскоро проектът ми Via Vino беше насочен навън,…

Скъпи ценители на виното и пътешествията, Време е да погледнем смело напред. Виното и ювелирно създадените пътувания за нас са не просто бизнес, а страст. С настоящите уикенд преживявания из България, ние, от Виа Вино и Зиг-Заг Холидейз / Одисея-ин, Ви предлагаме един оригинален прочит какво още може да представлява…

A few months ago I wrote a post about Bulgarian cuisine and its history. Now it is time to continue my story, moreover we all need to think/write/talk about topics, others than Covid-19, don’t we? As I pointed out, Bulgarian food is a colourful and tasty mix, heavily influenced by…

With regard to COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions taking place I would like to kindly inform you that a state of emergency has been declared in Bulgaria – valid until 13 April 2020. All tours within the country have been suspended, traveling within the country is heavily restricted. Our boarders…

Liebe Weinliebhaberinnen und Weinliebhaber, wir sind froh Sie zu einer unvergeßlichen Wein- und Geinießerreise nach Bulgarien einzuladen! Diese findet zwischen 10 und 17 Mai 2020 statt.

Das Erl…

This year’s edition of the leading Bulgarian wine event took place between 22 and 24 November in Sofia. It went in a more different (and intensive) way for me, that’s why I have decided to split my post in 3 parts… Of course, the tastings and exploration of new good…

Dear partners and wine lovers, Odysseia-in & Via Vino will participate again at some of the leading travel events in Europe. Please find below information about these exhibitions and conferences, where you will have the opportunity to learn more about our food & wine tours in Bulgaria. Click on the…

I totally agree with the statement: Wine is the best friend of food (and vice versa of course). So, there is no way to skip the food topic. Moreover, Bulgarian cuisine has a long, interesting history or better said – background, going back to the ancient tribes and civilizations that…

The history of Bulgarian wine The Thracians – Part 2   Continuing from Part 1 Thracian wine has been drunk from the cradle to the grave – in ceremonies when a baby was born (a sad event, because for these people the life on earth was undesired and unhappy, just…
