One-Day Bulgaria Lavender Festival Tour – From Sofia to the Heart of Thracia
Depart from central Sofia in the early morning and journey southeast to the Thracian Lowlands, a region known for its fragrant lavender fields and millennia-old winemaking traditions.
Your destination is the region of Chirpan, where the annual Lavender Festival brings the region to life with colour, scent, and celebration. Along the way, stop in the nearby village Sredno Gradishte, one of the main festival spots, to explore local crafts, music, and traditions.
Wander through blooming lavender fields, soak in the views, and take your time capturing the beauty on camera — or simply breathe in the calming fragrance. In the afternoon enjoy a relaxed wine tasting at a local cellar — an opportunity to sample the region’s wines and connect with its rich wine heritage.
In your free time, explore festival markets, try local food, browse handmade lavender products like soaps and essential oils, and take in cultural performances.
Return to Sofia in the early evening with the scent of lavender and the rhythm of a summer celebration in your heart.
