You will be welcomed at the door after an old Bulgarian custom with a piece of the homemade bread dipped in salt and pepper. Then while you are trying the cheese pastry-banitsa, with a glass of homemade wine, the kind hostess will show you how she is spinning, and then weaving the colourful threads together into a beautiful carpet or rug. She'll be very kind to let you try to do it, too. Then follows the floor-show of the local folklore group, all dressed in their beautiful hand-made traditional costumes, performing dances connected with customs characteristic of the region, such as names' days celebrations, St.George's and the Shepherds' Day, the Grannies' Day, the Feast Day of St.Triphon - the holiday of vine-growers and wine-makers, Bulgarian Wedding, etc.

Picnic in the woods of the Pirin mountains...

You are to experience something different, something unusual, weather permitting. You'll be taken by horse-drawn carts from the outskirts of the town of Bansko up the mountain to a clearing in the forest... It's here during that romantic journey we've got surprises in store for you... However when you get there, eventually, you will have a barbecue meal washed down by the delicious white or red wines served there. Then follows the floorshow performed by a local folklore group of young boys and girls dressed in beautiful traditional costumes.
