Overview

“Wines & Wonders: A 13Day Journey Through Romania & Bulgaria” invites discerning travelers
to experience the best of Eastern Europe’s wine culture—savouring local grape varieties like Mavrud,
Rubin, Melnik, and Fetească Neagră across boutique estates and UNESCO heritage landscapes.
This tour blends immersive tastings (including at Midalidare Estate and Thracian Valley vineyards)
with historic sites—from the Dracularich citadel of Sighișoara to the ancient Bulgarian capitals Veliko
