The story

Young Wine Festival Plovdiv in Plovdiv Old Town

A three-day tasting event held each November across the historic merchant houses of Plovdiv Old Town, where producers pour samples of that year's young wine in cobbled courtyards built in the Bulgarian National Revival style. Held ahead of the February feast of St Trifon Zarezan, patron of winemakers, it draws dozens of small Thracian Plain and Rose Valley producers alongside food stalls and informal talks on wine, set against Plovdiv's oldest quarter.

Wine producers carry their new vintages into the courtyards of Plovdiv Old Town's 19th-century merchant houses for a long November weekend, setting up tasting stands beneath wooden verandas built in the Bulgarian National Revival style.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets this festival apart is its venue: rather than one tasting hall, pours are spread across several restored 19th-century merchant houses along the Old Town's cobbled lanes, so the tasting itself becomes a walk through Plovdiv's best-preserved architecture

02

The mystery stays covered

The timing is deliberate too, landing in the weeks after harvest and fermentation, when the wine is still young and unfinished, giving visitors a chance to taste vintages before they settle into their final form

03

The city starts moving

Portions are poured small and often, encouraging comparison across many producers rather than commitment to one, and the surrounding streets, including the Roman theatre and Kapana creative quarter, sit close enough to fold into the same visit
