In Bulgaria February 14th isn’t Valentine’s Day, it’s St. Trifon’s Day. St. Trifon Zarezan is the patron saint of winegrowers and winemakers. Every year on February 14th Bulgarians pay homage to St. Trifon by partaking in wine festivities in villages, wineries and vineyards across the country.
Traditionally, the St. Trifon’s Day celebration involves specific culinary rituals, a procession to the vineyards, vine pruning and pouring wine on the soil for fertility. After the pruning, every wine village appoints a “Wine King,” who then blesses the vineyards. After the ceremony, the festivities continue to either the Wine King’s home or the winery.
