The quality of Bulgarian wines contributes to the development of tourism


“Wine is part of the tourist offers and brings variety and prestige to the Bulgarian tourist product. The attractiveness of the Bulgarian cuisine and the good-quality wines have always been appreciated by foreign vacationers, polled about their impressions from Bulgaria. Therefore, gourmet and wine tourism are among the most promising forms of specialised tourism in our country and have great potential for development, especially in combination with other forms of specialised tourism, such as SPA and wellness, cultural and historical tourism, golf tourism, etc.,” Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism Traicho Traikov said during his visit to the exhibition of Bulgarian wines DiVino.Taste, which ended today.

The event brought together 37 wineries, which presented over 200 wines from Bulgaria to professionals and connoisseurs. “In recent years, we have superb wines from different wineries, which are recognised by their brand, not only by the variety and the geographical region of their origin. Our wines are absolutely competitive in Europe with respect to the value offered for the respective price,” Minister Traikov commented.
