The tour departs at 8:00 from Sofia city center and we will take you to the most famous Bulgarian monastery! The traveling time is about 2 hours on a scenic road.

The Rila Monastery was established in the 10th century by the Bulgarian Saint John of Rila – the miracle maker. It is the biggest Bulgarian monastery and the most beautiful one.

After the visit of the monastery, on the way back, you will stop at Villa Montevino - a charming boutique wine estate located at the foothills of Rila Mountain, offering a perfect blend of nature, gastronomy, and authentic Bulgarian wine culture.

Surrounded by vineyards and gentle hills, the villa provides a peaceful and elegant atmosphere, ideal for travelers seeking relaxation and unique local experiences.
Its unique medieval-based design makes it one of the best spots for memorable photos in the area!

In this complex, we will do a 30-minute break, during which you can take some amazing photos, drink a coffee or a glass of wine.

After the refreshing break, we will continue back to Sofia. The expected arrival there in the city center is at 14:00.
