Bulgaria Wine Tours is the first certified tour operator specializing in wine tourism on the Bulgarian market. With ten years in the hospitality and tourism industry, Zina’s passion for sustainable tourism, wine and alternative types of tourism inspired a 2013 research thesis entitled: Exploring wine tourism in Bulgaria.

The prestigious international wine competition, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, is set to be held in Plovdiv in 2016 and the same city has been designated the European Capital of Culture in 2019.
