Known for its centuries-old winemaking traditions and well-preserved Revival-era architecture, Melnik offers a glimpse into the country’s past through its historic mansions and winding cobbled streets.

Try the region’s distinctive wines, made from the indigenous Broad-Leaved Melnik grape, to deepen your appreciation for the area’s vinicultural heritage. Then continue to Zornitsa, a serene countryside retreat known for its rolling vineyards and exceptional cuisine. Here, you will have the opportunity to savor a carefully curated meal, pairing locally sourced ingredients with expertly crafted wines. You can take a walk through the estate, unwind with a glass of wine overlooking the hills, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
