BULGARIAN WINES: Melnik and the surrounding villages

The town of Melnik is well-known for its size – being the smallest town in the country. Many years ago it was a large cultural and commercial center for this region, but with history, Melnik has now been reduced to just 97 buildings, all of which are recognized as cultural monuments. Not forgetting the beautiful yellow rocks surrounding the town and adding the great views which can simply be described as fascinating.

However, the most current way of describing Melnik is the town of the wine. Melnik, as well as its nearby villages, are all a major producer of a variety of red wines.
