The Struma valley’s wine country stretches across Petrich, Sandanski and Strumyani. Visit Orbelia in Kolarovo, Zlaten Rozhen’s winery in Kapatovo or Mihovi Estate in Ilindentsi, and explore Melnik’s historic houses and cellars. Arrange tastings with the winery before you go.
Across the border, look for a meal in Strumica or a stay with local food in Berovo. If your day includes cycling, leave wine tasting until after the ride or arrange a transfer.
