Di Vino Wine Exhibition 17th, 18th and 19th November — NDK, Sofia

Bulgarian wine: come try it

My favourite wine event of the year, DiVino Taste exhibition is here very soon. The seventh DiVino.Taste exhibition at the NDK, Sofia in Halls 7, 8 and 9 from 17th to 19th November 2017. Book your tickets by 14th November for lowest rates from just 12 leva per person.

As a wine enthusiast I can absolutely recommend this exhibition as the best of its kind I have ever been to. I have never missed a year and this will be no exception At DiVino.Taste this year there will be 400 wines from more  than 60 Bulgarian wineries. And to help you choose it’s worth taking a listen to last year’s podcast when I review some of the stars of the show with Mitko Nikolov, a friend and wine expert and wine educator:

Together with the exhibition section this year, DiVino.Taste will offer a rich program of master classes and lectures. Wine regions such as Burgundy and Champagne in France, as well as lesser-known Hungary, will be represented. And it’s especially appropriate that there will be a special focus on Bansko’s closest wine grape and wine growing region, Melnik.

Their press release goes on to say “During DiVino.Taste, wine researchers and professionals will talk on important and interesting themes backed by tasting selected bottles, most of which are impossible to try elsewhere in Bulgaria.

Since the first edition, in 2011, DiVino.Taste has shown that it is the most successful format for popularising the quality Bulgarian wine. During the exhibition, visitors are given a unique opportunity to try out new products, learn more about individual subareas or varieties, and orient themselves in the wide variety of markets. DiVino.Taste gathers together the people who create the Bulgarian wine and those for which it is intended.”

They also point out that in addition to tasting you can buy your favourites at Casavino — at special prices. A good time to stock up for the festive season ahead.

Tickets can be purchased for one, two or all the three days of the show. The master classes are with tickets, and the buyers of at least one master class or lecture have access to the three-day exhibition.

Byt thew way — this is a BARGAIN deal. The master classes are well worthwhile (I know Mitko usually does a few) and help you appreciate the regions and the wines available
