On October 25 and 26, a selection of 15 local varieties will be presented in 38 wines created by 38 wineries
October is the month in which we celebrate Bulgarian wine and wines from local varieties. We have been celebrating for 5 years”International Mavruda Day” on October 26, and the calendar of wine events throughout the month is filled with tastings in wine bars and shops, wine dinners in restaurants throughout the country and abroad, promotions in online stores, master classes.
For the third year, the team of the Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals organizes the most large-scale and significant event dedicated to the cause, namely 4 city wine festivals, called URBAN WINE FEST in 4 big cities of the country.
After Veliko Tarnovo, Varna and Sofia, it is the turn of Plovdiv to welcome the last festival of the year Urban Wine Fest – Plovdiv 2024. The event will take place on October 25 and 26 at the festival space on the bridge over. Gladstone Street.
In the center of the city, under the hills, the festival tents of Urban Wine Fest – Plovdiv 2024 will be built again this year, which will house the wine bars, culinary corners and caravans, and the music program will be more festive than ever. A selection of 15 local varietals, represented in the different styles of 38 wines from 38 different wineries, will be available for wine tastings, wine by the glass, bottles for consumption on site or to take home, and BAVP wine experts will present the wines in an interesting and exciting way. By tradition, the festival will open with a unique and exciting festive musical greeting from the Plovdiv Brass Orchestra, and the Garbachev Quartet will delight us with their jazz music on both evenings. For the rest of the time, DJ Manev, who has been supporting the festival for the third year now, will make us dance with a glass of wine in hand.
The focus of the event will be wines from endemic varieties such as Mavrud, Shiroka Melnishka Loza, Cherven Misket or those created by Bulgarian scientists, such as Rubin, Kailashki Misket, Gergana, Melnik 55, Sandanski Misket and others. Balkan varieties such as Dimyat and Gamza, which are also found in other neighboring countries under different names and which have found their terroir in Bulgaria, will also be protagonists. The main goal of this initiative is to get to know the wealth of Bulgarian wines from local varieties, their merits and uniqueness.
The ideologue and organizer of the “International Mavruda Day” initiative is the Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals, which unites experts in every sphere of the wine business – oenologists and cellar owners, wine merchants, marketing specialists, wine tourism, export.
The festival is free of admission, and the wine tasting and consumption of wine and food will be paid for on the spot. For greater comfort and enjoyment, bring your favorite wine tasting glass or take advantage of the opportunity to use a glass for a deposit on site.
