Discover the 6th oldest city in the world, Plovdiv
Unearth the wonders of the 6th oldest city in the world, Plovdiv. Plovdiv has over 8000 years of ample history! It is a lively cultural and educational hub with exciting gastronomy.
history and wine in old Plovdiv
Plovdiv is situated in the heart of Bulgaria, surrounded by mighty pine-forest-covered mountains and breathtaking nature. It boasts an exquisite winery that exhibits wine-making utensils and appliances found during archaeological excavations that prove that Thracians made and drank wine since as far back as the V or VI century BC.
A tranquil cultural centre
This is an inspiring and magical setting to reconnect with yourself, find some tranquillity and soak up the local culture. We will stay in one of the best SPA complexes in the country! It is supplied by waters from natural mineral springs famous for their healing powers.
Throughout the week we will enjoy traditional Bulgarian cuisine, prepared exclusively from bio-products, and take part in some unique and interesting excursions and activities.
The area is one of the oldest wine terroirs in the world. The research and restoration of archaeological monuments in the region are some of the causes we support because we think that we, as Bulgarians, should be proud to be the heirs of such ancient history, and must do our best to preserve our cultural legacy and popularise it in the country and worldwide.
