Urban Wine Fest - Ruse 2026
Northeastern Bulgaria - Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals
02.10.2026 - 03.10.2026
Urban Wine Fest Ruse is an invitation to everyone who lives in or visits the city, to travelers and wine professionals — let’s celebrate Bulgarian wine together and create new memories.
Wine travels. It’s looking for its discoverer.
On 2 and 3 October, Urban Wine Fest returns to Ruse — this time with a new selection of Bulgarian wines, ideas for new experiences and even more reasons to discover the richness of local grape varieties and Bulgaria’s wine regions.
Let’s welcome the wine autumn with the first edition of Urban Wine Fest — an urban festival that opens the month dedicated to Bulgarian wine and International Mavrud Day.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Every bottle holds a message—about its place of origin, the grape variety, the people who created it, and the story waiting to be told.
At the Urban Wine Fest Ruse, these messages travel from their place of origin to the city, connect with people, and find their discoverers.
At the wine bar, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of Bulgarian wines showcasing the richness of local grape varieties, presented in an independent and accessible way by established wine professionals from the Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals.
A selection of over 40 wines will give you the opportunity to rediscover familiar flavors and get to know lesser-known Bulgarian grape varieties, wines, and regions.
Admission is free.
For tastings, you can use your own wine glass or rent one for a deposit.
This event is for people 18 years of age and older. We encourage moderate and responsible consumption.
International Mavrud Day is an initiative of the Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals; Urban Wine Fest Plovdiv 2026 is organized with the official support of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Municipality of Plovdiv.
