Winter in Bulgaria
While plenty of people think of February 14th as Valentine's Day, in Bulgaria it is also Trifon Zarezan, which is a holiday dedicated to both wine and winemakers. On this day there's plenty of opportunities to sample all of the local wines. Bulgaria is also a great spot to take part in some winter sports, especially at some of the larger ski resorts in the country such as Borovets and Pamporovo.
