AMAZING WINE TOUR! Vineyard, Winery and Tasting | Bulgaria Wine Tours in Plovdiv

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We're clearly not wine connoisseurs, but such an incredible day either way! We had 32 minutes of footage to cram into 13 minutes 🤓 🍷 Check out Bulgaria Wine Tours if you're heading to Sofia or Plovdiv: bulgariawinetours.com/

Hi guys. Thxs for video

[@saqlainafzal3859]

🤘👌🌷💦

[@borderreiver3288]

WOW..those wines sound great...nice to know there are great wines out there besides French and Spanish....

[@joannabunia106]

Love Bulgarian wines they are the best!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We'd never really heard of them before this day, now we're converted for sure!!

[@jf6395]

bulgaria is such a diverse country and a fascinating place, thanks for sharing your experience, good vid.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It really is - one of our best surprises of this trip so far!

[@RexWaldron]

I love all of your vlogs, but this one was really close to my heart. I love wine and I love vineyards. I've visited a number of them in France (the first time as a 17 year old with my French pen friend's family). You really captured the feel of the wineries and the differing character of the ones featured here. I love the look of the Bulgarian wine and will definitely be looking out for it. I tend to enjoy fuller bodied wines as most of what we eat at home is Indian cuisine so it is spicy! Many of your New Zealand wines are great for spicy food as are those from Australia and Chile. That spicy red you tried looked just the thing for me. Really feeling Bulgaria - it looks amazing.

[@TravellersRelish]

Bulgaria keeps giving us its awesomeness 😍... The story how the winery started is super with the steel and all.The wine fountain sounds amazing too( am trying hard not to use the same words but everything is generally awesome.. love it) That food looks delicious 😋 and you guys left a wine tasting for lunch with a beer too 😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

See its tough to not use the same words you always would! This was possibly one of our greatest day trips to date :)

[@Nubianette]

I get to drink Bulgarian wines in Oakland, California. I live near a natural wine bar, and there’s always at least 2 Bulgarian wines. You can also drink it from a traditional cup that’s made from cement. The traditional cement also has clay. Very interesting. Loving binging on all of you vlogs this weekend. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thats cool to know Bulgarian wine is getting some love overseas! We were naive to the fact that Bulgaria had such incredible wine before this tour

[@Nubianette]

Daneger and Stacey Oops! Busted! I went to my wine shop today. I was thinking of Georgian wines. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@technixbul]

Bulgarian wine is one of the best in the world, the name BENDIDA is a name of old bulgarian godess of nature, also we are the inventors of Yogurt (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) can be found only here in its natural state, also 85% of world production of rose oil is made here ... well there are couple of hundreeds more things but i could speak for them a whole week if i start: :D

[@jonathanmibord8034]

Български патриоти !!

[@technixbul]

@S.S.S. Да не би да е лъжа?

[@ЯнаДанаилова-х1э]

A little fact: on the 14th of February Bulgarians celebrate trifon zarezan also known as "the day of the wine"

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thats what Vasil was explaining at the first winery in this video, such a great concept.

[@OnTheBusPodcast]

Had no idea Bulgaria was big in wine. We just finished our Wine Tour in Santiago Chile. We could learn a thing or two about how you did your video. Drone shots are perfect.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks guys. Hope you enjoyed your trip as well!

[@plovdivcitycard9382]

There are so many places around Plovdiv where you can find high-quality wines! Thanks for sharing these :)

[@melanzwkuchni4393]

Cheers from Poland!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Cheers from one of our 13 wines 🍷

[@Vasil_Hristov]

Both Zagreus and Bendida are Bulgarian Gods btw. There's a chance you've heard one of our most famous ones - Dionysus - the God of wine ,ecstasy etc.

[@Sabminerva]

Thank you so much of creating vlogs from Bulgaria that are so interesting. I hope you can do even more ^^

[@CheerstoTravels]

who knew! this is amazing! love going on wine tours and checking out different wineries! didnt know bulgaria produced wine! the drones shots are amazing! ~sara

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Crazy, right?! We had no idea either - or were qualified Bulgarian wine drinkers haha

[@bulgariawinetours1970]

Loved the video! Thank you so much for the effort that you put into this! We really enjoyed showing you our wines and vineyards! Hope to see you back in Plovdiv soon!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks guys - we loved it! Such an incredible day :)

[@devilsice04nz]

great video you guys... Plovdiv looks amazing!!!! certainly raises the question as to why its not a better known "hotspot" for tourists.... but then again, its probably for the best that its not over run by tourists!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Exactly man, the more people that know about it the busier it gets and then it's crowded... apparently it gets busier in higher seasons, at the moment everyone else has 'gone to the sea' weve been told

[@kmichaelcjp]

Great video! I love seeing the hidden gems of the wine world. Cheers!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We like finding them as well, especially when we didnt know in the first place! Thanks for the support

[@Vera-wl7fy]

I really like all of these places! Bulgaria def has a big drinking culture. The wine is truly amazing but not everyone can afford it all year around.(but for holidays, it's a must👌👍) Many ppl's parents or granparents have gardens and fields. They grow all sorts of stuff but one thing every one of them has and that is.. GRAPES! LOL we live in a apartment.. no garden but we have a basement. What's there? 2 giant barrels of red wine, compot and rakiq of course.

[@Spartan_N7]

Amazing vlog guys! I just couldn't decide on which video to comment on, but thank you for sharing your amazing experience. If you really want to come back, be sure to visit the Coast too (especially in the summer) - Varna, Burgas, Nessebar, Sunny Beach, Sveti Vlas (saint. Vlas), Sozopol, Balchik... you'll love it. Around BG, you can visit Veliko Turnovo (Tsarevets Fortress / Царевец), Pliska (the first capital of the Bulgarian Empire) and at Pliska there are two sites, one which is the city itself (with the big walls) and the second it's called "Дворът на Кирилицата / Yard of the Cyrillic" which is not far from the ancient city and contains a little bit of history including the bulgarian rulers throughout the bulgarian history. In the winter season, you can visit the mountains - Bansko, Borovets, Pamporovo and you'll definitely love it if you want to ski and snowboard on the snow. As it's still summer, you can visit the Rhodopean mountains, it's a really beautiful mountain and there are a lot of places that you can visit there too, such as the "Devil's Throat Cave" - > The legend about Orpheus, Krustova Gora (Cross Forest), Eagle Eye (which they say you can see Greece from there) etc. You can also visit opoznai.bg (Opoznai translates as to - Get to Know) and download the app for Android/iOS and learn more about the many places you can visit in Bulgaria, although I am not sure if it's translated into english, I haven't checked it in a while. Good luck guys and I hope that you'll be able to visit as many places as possible, I'm subscribing to your channel and again, thank you for sharing your awesome vlogs!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So many more amazing places in BG we need to visit, weve run out of time this time so will have to come back and head to the coast next time ❤️

[@Spartan_N7]

True, there are indeed so many places but time is always an issue. But don't rush, the places will always be here, so just enjoy your stay. :)

[@nickob55]

Thanks I am going to be visiting those vineyards for sure...........my favourite up to now is Starosel.........the best Reds I have had in BG are the Starosel Syrah,and the Minkov Bros(Karnobat) syrah is amazing..........my favourite white is Traminer from Karnobat...I live in BG and that is one of my pastimes visiting wineries, someone has to do it.

[@joshuachad]

Yasssss! The wine tour! Being waiting for the wine tour like forever!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

🥉 We weren’t sure if we’d ever do one, but wow, what a sick day!!

[@Goodkid489]

Had to double take when it looked like Daneger was in the driving seat driving haha #righthanddrivepsychosis looks amazing, Bulgaria the hidden gem. Have fun y’all.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we still go to get in the wrong side of the car as well!!

[@andrewcardona8151]

oh you guys were definitely saucy in this one. Love your vlogs guys.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha yeah man, we definitely felt happy during this one haha

[@treasurehuntfoodies]

What an amazing trip!! Great reviews!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Such an enormous and amazing day! So so sooo hard to edit this one with all the footage we had

[@prisadnikov78]

Great video. Really enjoyed watching it. I did not know there were so many wineries around Plovdiv. And the views of the mountain and the fields were gorgeous! Thanks for the nice video. :)))))))

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Neither did we, now we do, they’re all stunning wineries!! Glad you enjoyed, thanks 🙏🏼

[@effie-Toronto]

Really nice video of the different wine places Thank you

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yay - thanks!

[@denismaciuc4229]

It's very insiping environment!!!!👍👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

🔥🔥🔥

[@MrMaryhinge]

My wife who is Hungarian took me on a tour of Balaton in Hungary, holy crap, who knew, was a fabulous weekend and one have repeated time and again, you should try it, plus Budapest is fabulous

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Interesting! We're going to Budapest after Greece actually, will look into that :)

[@pbutter237]

Next up folks, Bulgaria brewery tour! Stay tuned. Woohoo! 8^)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we wish. Trying to save ourselves to just one ‘booze tour’ per country... ‘trying’ 😂

[@catdeluxeatday]

Wow, nice! I've heard that Moldavia has great wines as well. :)

[@secondpc]

Loving your uploads

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Stoked to hear! You pulled through in 🥈 comment as well!

[@Groarchit]

You both should go to Nessebar, Balczik and Kaliakra. We were there on honeymoon and we bought there 4bottles od wine. Sweet wine is so delicious!

[@Fottchopower]

love the videos you make :D

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks so much 🙌🏼

[@nijiyaautohaus]

Your Vlog just Rocksssssss !!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Your comment rocksssssss !!

[@SpaStef]

Love your video guys. I have been following you for a while. So great that you visited my home town Plovdiv. I am planning to visit New Zealand ;)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We love Plovdiv!

[@dragonmac1234]

My parents went on a wine tour when we were on holiday in Spain years ago. Sadly I was only about 10 at the time so I wasn't allowed to try the wine, although I love red wine now as an adult. I keep watching your videos and wanting to visit all of these places, maybe one day if I save some money :D

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Bet your parents loved it, if it was anything like our day that’s guaranteed! The reds we drank on this day were incredible, so much body but still so smooth - who knew! Bulgaria keeps delivering.

[@mrwings6177]

Love your videos!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yay - thanks!

[@neychev]

Wow guys you do more to attract civilised tourists to Bulgariathan the whole Tourism ministry :) Hope you really having a goodtime

[@hritian]

Please next time come to our vilige here in Bulgaria. The vilige's name is Brestovitsa it's 18 kilometers from Plovdiv and we make one of the best bulgarian wine.

[@Mr-Benn-1970s]

Excellent video guys. I've just got back from several winery tours in the Western Cape of South Africa. I hope you are able to do some similar winery vlogs when you next return home to NZ as you have some fantastic wine farms both North and South Island (and Croatia if that is on your European itinerary).

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Happy to hear you've had the chance to take some winery tours as well, hope they were as amazing as ours! Hopefully we can take another tour soon

[@bilianavelkova]

Loved your video, thank you. We did a wine tour in Bulgaria this summer, it was great! What was the last place you visited in Plovdiv?

[@stavpap09]

If I'm right you've mentioned in a previous video that you are heading to Santorini soon. You could visit for a wine tasting Domaine Sigalas or Estate Argyros. You are not going to be disappointed!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's right, though because we're there for a wedding we don't know how much free time we'll have - but adding this to our list.

[@Psychphuq]

Looks like you had a fun day out with some nice scenery... :) I would consider doing a tour like that, but my choices would be limited by the fact I'm allergic to red wine... :( Riesling of Germany & Austria - not a problem...

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ahhh thats a catch 22 - amazing scenery, but only half the wine... still worth it! Haha

[@monlifes]

WOW who knew.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Not us either haha

[@OnTheBusPodcast]

Which was your favorite?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Funnily enough we liked one from each - the best Red was at the first stop, best white was the mixed at the second stop and the rose at the cool place in town was the best there.

[@melaimoncatar]

32 minutes down to 13, the struggle is real!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It was nearly impossible to do haha

[@hook55]

Never really been a wine drinker, Only been to one winery in the Hunter Valley NSW Australia... so no more people squashing grapes with the feet! can you do a brewery tour just like this one?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We've never really been big wine drinkers either, but quality wines, smallish portions, mixed with some food, stunning vineyards etc it all sort of converts you! We haven't come across any beer tours that are anywhere near as complete as this day, but we're hunting !

[@christos.5302]

LOL, used to do that back in the 90s in Bulgaria >:)

[@boretobashov8189]

You eat in Perushtiza.Resturant Anita👍

[@elsentai100]

I can say from Greek Mythology the ancient area of Thrace worhip God Dionysus and for a good reason. I would suggest Melnik, has some good quality wines.

[@mikesaysoh6593]

🍷🤗👌👍👍👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

[@temperateortropical161]

Why does YT unlike the Likes ...

[@pocket3101]

Hiii

[@DanegerAndStacey]

First comment! 🏆 congrats haha

[@joshuachad]

Quis, quid, ubi, quibus auxiliis, cur, quomodo, quando? Vinum et musica laetificant cor. Nunc est Bibendum, nunc pede liberi pulsanda tellus. O tempora, O mores! Ita diis placuit! 'Who, what, where, with what, why, how, when? Music and wine gladden the heart. Now it is the time to drink, and now it is time for the loose feet to hit the floor. Oh what times! Thus it pleased the gods! Hic! Here are some fun food facts for you: “If you don't cheers someone before you take a swig of your beer, you can't marry them or anyone in their family. If you don't look someone in the eye while you cheers them, they have the legal right to take all your livestock. If multiple people are cheersing, their arms mustn't cross. Otherwise, there's a risk of full protonic reversal, which is punishable in some cantons by two weeks in jail. If you drop your bread in your fondue, you have to swim naked in the lake and buy drinks for everyone” 😂

[@jameslittle3931]

When you talk about the notes of wine your moving into chemical trickery then closer to the grape.Many wine makers small and large are trying to make there wines taste like more successful labels.

[@Vatsek]

You look a bit drunk now.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We were very happy :)
