“Delicious wines and their histories - Geri took my wife and I to several locations in Old Plovdiv where we sampled wonderful wines and learned the stories of their creation. One locale also had a Roman bath that was impressive. If that wasn’t enough, the wines were accompanied by cheeses, meats and a cherry/cinnamon jam to die for.” - Reviewed on 2023-09-24
