French Experts Introduce Wine Tours in Bulgaria

Sofia News Agency

Eight Bulgarian wine tours have been selected two French experts - Claude Samson (oenologist), and Pascal Teto (vine and wine field marketing specialist).

This was announced Tuesday by the Chair of the State Tourist Agency Aneliya Krushkova at a press conference introducing the new tourist product - "Wine Tours".

The tours will be used to attract more tourists to the interior of Bulgaria, Mrs. Krushkova said. The project aims to present different types of wine and culture sights in Bulgaria, she added.

The French experts have studied vines, wine-cellars, and factories, accommodations, restaurant, as well as cultural sights. 51 wine makers in 14 regions had been studied and in the course of three expeditions 25 wine-cellars were visited.

The biggest criticism from the French experts is related to the lack of proper road infrastructure and direction signs, Mrs. Krushkova said. They met with representatives of the European Commission in Bulgaria and expressed their hopes that the EC will help the country to deal with these issues.

"We did this research in a country of contrasts, of history, and which is a planet of wine. Among the Balkan states, in Bulgaria we met the widest capital for combination of wine, history, culture, religion, and civilization. Everywhere in this country we can connect wine with culture, archeology, and balneotherapy. In the last 20 years Bulgaria has made a 50-year progress in the field of wine quality. Every tourist sight has its own emotion", Claude Samson said.
