Wine tasting in Nessebar Old Town

• Walk cobbled streets to winery
• Enjoy wine tasting on terrace
• Savor cheese platter with wine

The experience

You've got a free afternoon in Nessebar. Rather than wander the cobbled streets of the Old Town alone, you book a private wine tasting that meets you there and takes you straight to a winery terrace with views across the water. A local sommelier (fluent in English or Russian) walks you through Bulgaria's signature wines: the deep, earthy Mavrud, the crisp Sauvignon Blanc, and the robust Melnik aged in oak. You choose how many wines to taste at checkout: three, four, five or six.

The tasting unfolds on a terrace where the Black Sea spreads below. As you work through each pour, a combined platter arrives (cheeses, cured meats and dried fruits), designed to complement what's in your glass. Mineral water and bread round out the spread. The whole thing takes between one and two hours, unhurried enough that you're not rushing back to your hotel but tight enough to fit into an afternoon before dinner elsewhere.

What’s included

• Professional sommelier guide in English or Russian.
• mineral water.
• bread.
• cheese and cured meat platter for two (200g).
