On Trifon Zarezan, the celebration of Vine-growers and Winemakers, Augeo Family Estate will ‎participate for the second time at Melnik Wineries Open Doors Day and will present the pride of Bulgaria on the palm of the hand. The folklore program will be performed by a group from the Danube city of Ruse and the wines will come from our vines near Melnik.

On February 15th, Saturday, visit our vineyards in the beautiful Vranya village, where you could see ‎Rupite, Melnik Pyramids, South Pirin, Slavyanka, Orgajden and Belasitsa Mountains, Tepeto in ‎Vranya and the Holy Spirit church, as well as Promachon and Agkistro in Greece. ‎

You could participate in the pruning of the vines of the typical Bulgarian varieties Ruen, Melnik 55 ‎and Shiroka Melnishka with the help of our vine-growers and to actively help the preparation of the ‎new vintage of Augeo!

In 2019, over 220 people visited Augeo Family Estate’s vineyards. Lots of music and good mood followed the wine tasting of all wines in Augeo’s portfolio. ‎ The ‎event’s guests joined a traditional horo dance, including some of our international guests.
