We learned Bulgaria produces excellent wine!

Enjoyed five interesting wines from five different geographic regions of Bulgaria. We tasted Two white, one “orange”, and 2 two red wines, all with unique flavor profiles, along with a nice selection of local meats, cheese and bread for pairing. Lyubomir, our host, was very knowledgeable about the history of wine in Bulgaria from early times leading up the present day. The shop has a nice, comfortable room for small group tastings. The experience is at a comfortable pace as well, with plenty of time to ask questions and enjoy each glass of wine. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience that we are happy to recommend.

Operator response

Dear Kevin, Thank you for your thoughtful review and recommendation! We're delighted you enjoyed exploring Bulgaria’s wine regions and the different flavours along the way. Sharing the stories behind the wines is a pleasure, especially when there’s time for questions and conversation over each glass. It’s lovely to hear that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the local pairings too. We would be very happy to welcome you back for more Bulgarian wine discoveries! Warm regards, Vineria Team

Local charm and great regional wines & charcuterie

Excellent and quaint wine bistro focused on local vineyards. The owners blended a very sense of history cultures and regions that helped us understand Bulgaria more. The local charcuterie meats and cheeses were excellent pairings with the tastings. The pours were very generous for a tasting and the glassware was excellent. Very convenient location in old town. Thank you

Operator response

It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the local meats and cheeses, and we especially appreciate you noticing the glassware—we believe those details make a difference. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back for more Bulgarian wine discoveries. Cheers!

Very enjoyable but on the pricey side

The person who gave us the talk and explained everything about Bulgarian wine making was very knowledgeable and answered our questions confidently. The 5 wines we tasted were all good and the tapas was very nice. The tapas consisted of a locally made soda bread with oil to dip, local sheep and goats cheese and a locally made salami which was very tasty 😋 The venue was small but cosy and the toilet was extremely clean. The only downside, which explains the 4 stars is the fact that compared to other trips we did in Bulgaria we felt this one was overpriced for what you actually received.

Operator response

Dear Sharron, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your "Wine and Tapas" experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that you found our host knowledgeable and that you enjoyed the selection of five Bulgarian wines. It is wonderful to know that our locally sourced artisanal products—the soda bread, the cheeses, and the traditional salami—left a tasty impression! We also appreciate your kind words about the cozy atmosphere and the cleanliness of our venue, as we strive to maintain high standards for all our guests. Regarding your comment on the pricing, we truly value your honesty. We would like to mention that our tastings focus exclusively on limited-series wines from small, boutique Bulgarian producers, which are often rare and carry a higher cost due to their artisanal nature. The same applies to our tapas, which we carefully source from local farmers to ensure the most authentic quality. However, we take your feedback seriously as we are always looking for ways to balance premium quality with great value. We hope that the insights you gained into the rich history of Bulgarian winemaking added a unique dimension to your trip. It was a pleasure having you at Vineria, and we would love to welcome you back next time you are in Sofia! Warm regards, The Vineria Team
