About Mavrud
Bulgaria’s winemaking tradition can be traced back to antiquity. Bulgaria has one of the most ancient wine histories in the world. This is the reason why we chose the emblematic authentic Bulgarian grape variety, Mavrud, as our symbol for the day. The emphasis on Mavrud aims to present the style as well as its diversity, quality and modern feel, which can now be observed in many Bulgarian wines, regardless of their variety.
Organiser - BAWP
The International Mavrud Day is an initiative launched by the Bulgarian Association of Wine Professionals. BAWP’s purpose is to promote Bulgarian wine so that it takes its well-deserved place on the global wine scene with adequate recognition, expressive identity and positive image.
