Swap the city for a day among vines. This self-guided wine cycling tour in Petrich combines an easy ride with two tastings, a picnic under fig trees, and wide-open views towards Pirin. Your host is Rupel Winery in Dolno Spanchevo, set in the scenic Struma River gorge between the Belasitsa and Sengelska slopes.

How it works
You start at Rupel Winery, where you receive rental bikes and a daypack with sandwiches and water. Follow a marked, well-maintained and mostly flat trail—ideal even if you’re not an experienced cyclist. The tour is self-paced (no guide), so you can stop for photos and take your time. Mid-route, pause for a romantic outdoor picnic under fig trees.

Tastings along the route
Your first stop is the organic Orbelus Winery near Kromidovo—known for its barrel-shaped architecture and certified organic production. Enjoy a tasting of 3 wines with matching bites on a panoramic terrace. You’ll finish back at Rupel, where a second selection of 3 wines awaits in the chateau’s cozy setting, paired with local dairy and meat specialties.

Who it’s for
Two people looking for a different kind of day out—gentle cycling, quality wines, and time together in nature, at your own rhythm.
