Trifon Zarezan Celebration

Come shake off the February freeze and dance away the winter doldrums by celebrating Trifon Zarezan with us. Trifon Zarezan is the traditional Bulgarian wine celebration that marks the time of year when wine growers trim back their vines.

In commemoration of Bulgaria’s rich wine-making heritage, we will be offering complimentary tastes of several Bulgarian wines.

Please contribute to the celebration by bringing your favorite appetizer or dessert to share.

Admission:
Adults — $10
Under 21 and over 65 — $5
Photo ID required for wine tastings.

The Bulgarian Community Center DC (www.facebook.com/bgccdc) is graciously co-sponsoring our event and we look forward to jointly presenting this compelling aspect of Bulgarian life. Assen Assenov, BGCCDC’s Chairman, will inform and entertain us with his knowledge of Bulgarian wines and wine-making traditions.
