As an artisanal winery we are oriented mainly toward crafting limited volumes of wines with expressive character and carrying the specifics of the terroir and the North - Western Bulgaria is a region that offers good opportunities for growing grapes and wines with distinctive characters.
The Borovitza series are Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Rikat, Gamza, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir varietals. Grapes were grown in selected vineyards in the region and the wines carry their so specific elevation and minerality.
In 2008 after 5 years of barrel aging the winery offered DUX, another fine wine, already considered as a peculiar height in the terroir expression, thus further focusing on the original and neglected sites in this part of the country.
Program
We will pick up you at 8.00 o’clock.
Belogradchik is in the North-Western part of Bulgaria, so we usually take a scenic and mountainous 2:30 hours driving through the Balkan. We arrive at the parking lot in front of the Fortress around 11:30 and go for a walk uphill to the top part. On the way we can enjoy the funny-looking forms of the rocks and use our imagination to guess the figures of the Madonna, the Rabbit, the Turtle, The Ice-Age Squirrel, the Rebel and many more, learn the history of the Fortress during the different periods, hear the frightening legends of prisoners and rebels.
After the walk we will transfer you for degustation in a very traditional local tavern called Madonna in a nearby village Falkovtsi. We will meet the owner of Borovitsa winery and she will present the brand. We will taste 5 wines and different kinds of food. After the degustation we will have light lunch including main dish, desert, glass of wine.
We will relax in a huge garden with trees and flowers near the river and feel the fresh air and wonderful smell of the nature.
