Escape the vibrant atmosphere of Plovdiv for a relaxing half-day journey into the countryside, where history, wine culture, and scenic landscapes meet. This experience takes you to the gentle hills at the foothills of the Rhodope Mountains, a region known for its long traditions in viticulture and its rich cultural heritage.
The tour combines two remarkable aspects of the region – ancient Christian heritage and contemporary Bulgarian winemaking.

Just a short drive from Plovdiv lies the charming town of Perushtitsa, surrounded by vineyards and historical landmarks. Nearby, among sunlit hills and fertile soils, you will discover Villa Yustina Winery – a boutique winery that has become one of the most recognizable wine producers in the region.
During this half-day experience, you will learn about the history of early Christianity in the region, the local terroir, and the philosophy behind modern Bulgarian wines, while enjoying beautiful views, engaging stories, and a carefully curated wine tasting.
This tour is perfect for travelers who want to combine culture, history, and wine in a relaxed countryside setting, just a short distance from the city.
