Trifon Zarezan is a long lasting tradition on Bulgarian lands. The day of the vine-growers (February 14), tavern-keepers and gardeners, has different names in different parts of the country: “Trifon the snub-nosed”, "Trifun Chipia', "Trifun Drunkard", “Trifku”, etc. St. Trifon was born in Phrygia, Asia Minor. The 17 year-old Trifon healed the daughter of the Roman Emperor Gordian and in doing so, gained great glory and respect. He was a martyr who was slain with a sword in the year 248 AD. St. Trifon is known as the patron of the vineyards only on the Balkans, and more precisely in the regions with Greek and Bulgarian population. The origin of the wine celebrations is associated with the famous Dionysus days in ancient Greece. Dionysus is usually portrayed as a god with an ivy and vine sticks wreath on his head. The Bulgarian notion of St. Trifon was enriched by various legends, the most popular of which tells that he cut off his nose when he started cutting the vines. Since then, on this day, the villagers have been pruning back their vines, believing that this act will bring them richer vintage. The first pruned vine sticks has to be wreathed into a crown for the best vine-grower in the village. He is to be proclaimed the "Vine King" of the year. The men carry the vine king on their hands or are harnessed in the cart and drive him around. Everyone wants to be blessed by him and treat him with their wine. After that the Wine King is placed on a wheel-cart and with folklore songs and music is taken to the village. There, in his house, he gives a feast of gratitude.

The great importance of vine growing and wine making in Bulgaria is also proved by the fact that in the newly established Bulgarian state back in 1879, even before the creation of the Tarnovo Constitution, a special wine law was first signed. Approximately 100 years later, Bulgaria ranked fourth in the world in wine production. Today in our lands there are provisionally five vine-growing regions where different grape varieties are grown, depending on specific local climate conditions. Among the best brands grown in Bulgaria are the Mavrud, Gamza, Red Muscatel, Pamid and the Wide Melnik Vine. More and more international companies are interested in Bulgarian wine industry. The way is open to the wine tourism and there are also many holiday properties situated in vineyards regions.
