Music, traditional dances, and wine – Trifon Zarezan 2025

18 Feb Music, traditional dances, and wine – Trifon Zarezan 2025

Dear friends and wine lovers,
Thank you for once again being part of the celebration dedicated to vine-growers and winemakers — Trifon Zarezan at Villa Melnik 2025.

On Saturday, February 15, 2025, the energy of several thousand people charged our vineyards for a fruitful and bountiful year! We shook the entire Melnik Valley with music and dancing!

Special thanks to Nikolina Chakardakova, who heroically sang on top of a wine barrel for over an hour, and to her ensemble, who led the traditional dance in front of the vineyards! The lively dances continued into the early afternoon, and toasts were raised until sunset.

At Villa Melnik, we traditionally invite artisans and producers to join our celebration. We are grateful to the farmers and small businesses from across Bulgaria who made the event more colorful, tastier, and healthier:

Top’s Honey
Roseberry.farm
BioVas
Domashni Tahani Petrich
Bioangus.bg
BeneBene
Eravas – Duck Products
Rodopa Milk Stores
Ganchev Design
Art IDea Atelie
“Bulgara” Jewelry – Handmade

Every wine lover knows that the same wine can taste different depending on the food it’s paired with. We thank the chefs from wineandchef, The Traveling Chef, Tihiyat Kut (The Quiet Corner), and shishi.bg who made sure we were well-fed and happy.

And most of all, we thank the Villa Melnik team — our colleagues — who worked tirelessly to organize this beautiful celebration for all of us! And who continue to work every day in the fields and in the winery to craft the wine we all love so much!

Cheers! Until next time!
