WINE & DINE

On 11-13 November 2022 wine lovers and professionals from Bulgaria and abroad will gather for the 11th edition of DiVino.Taste. The event will take place at Inter Expo Centre Sofia and is organised by DiVino, a specialised media outlet.

DiVino.Taste 2022 will gather 80 Bulgarian wine producers offering over 500 labels and presenting a coherent picture of the Bulgarian wine making scene.

Historians disagree when exactly it appeared, and Balkan and other nations disagree on who makes it best. But in spite of its ability to ignite disputes, Rakiya remains one of the things that unite Bulgarians. There is hardly anyone able to imagine the beginning of a Bulgarian dinner without the cult – and rhetorical – question: "Will you have one small Rakiya?".

However, in Bulgaria the question is not only about a single small Rakiya. In this country, Rakiya is institution.
