Since ancient
times, Bourgas region has been famous for its
wine production. There are vast vine plantations in
Bourgas, Pomorie, Karnobat, Soungurlare, Grozden, Yambol,
Sliven, Elkhovo, Straldja and Rossenovo.
A special treat is always in store for those who visit the cellars of the Black Sea Gold Company at Pomorie. Free tastings include
dry whites, reds, semi-dry and sweet wines, and last, but not least, the internationally acclaimed Black Sea Gold Brandy of the
cognac variety.

If you would like to experience grape picking and wine production, tour operators
will gladly make the necessary arrangements.
Of particular interest is the Trifon Zarezan Festival in honour of the patron saint of vineyards and wine production Saint Triphon.
Every year, on February 14, wine growers begin pruning their vines and pour red wine over the roots, hoping for a rich harvest.
A visit to the Museum of the Wine in Soungurlare is a worthwhile
experience. There one can learn about the history of wine making Bulgaria.
