A famous Balkan beauty spot and Bulgaria's best wines are in store on this great day out. You'll embark on a walking tour of UNESCO-listed Nessebar and visit one of the Black Sea's top-rated wineries for a wine tasting tour. Elena, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘For a thousand years the church of Saint Sophia was one of the most important religious sites in the Black Sea region. It was built in the 5th century and it's one of the oldest churches anywhere.'

It all begins with a guided walking tour of Nessebar's old town. Crammed into a narrow peninsula jutting out into the Black Sea, this old part of the city boasts such a wealth of artifacts that it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are so many layers of history here that archaeologists have had to study the underwater remnants of the town to understand its history. They discovered that it was first settled by the Thracians followed by Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans.

Wander winding streets fringed with old timber homes wedged between a dozen historic churches, the oldest of which date back 1,500 years. And when the tour is over, you'll have plenty of free time to explore on your own. Rounding off the experience is a visit to the DiVes Estate Winery, where a tasting session sees you sample a trio of Bulgaria's best wines surrounded by countryside scenery. Elena says, ‘The rosé wine is a standout. It is the product of a local Bulgarian grape variety known as Pamid, which thrives by the sea, making a wine full of subtle, fresh flavours.'

We enjoyed the whole experience . The tour guide Petar ? I hope that's how to spell and pronounce his name ??. Was amazing. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the places we visited. Nessebar is a lovely place and much quieter then Sunny Beach. The only suggestion I have for improvement for the tour at Nessebar is to make the time to explore by ourselves a little bit longer. The wine tasting was also very enjoyable and took back a few tips ????.

Pani przewodnik nie opowiedziala zbyt duzo o Nessebarze. Ogólnie nie bylismy zadowoleni z tej wycieczki w która nie wchodzilo zwiedzanie zadnego zabytku oprócz cerkwi, do której kazdy i tak mógl wejsc bez przewodnika. Jedynym, ciekawym punktem dla nas bylo zwiedzanie winnicy i degustacja win. Ogólnie cena wycieczki jest za wysoka w stosunku do tego, co sie za to otrzymuje. Na pewno wiecej nie skorzystamy z tej propozycji.

Had a lovely time on this tour. Our guide, I think his name was Peter, was very pleasant, helpful and informative throughout the afternoon. When we got to Nessebar the hour walk around with our tour guide was very helpful and I then enjoyed the hour of free time before we boarded the coach to go up to the DiVes winery. At the winery we were greeted by one of the owners who conducted our tour and the presentation in the tasting room. Overall I'm glad I did a tour that incorporated both.
