"Wine and honey" – a harmony of flavors and aromas at the Wine & SPA Hotel Chukara.

At the beginning of April, we had the pleasure of creating a truly special event – the “Wine & Honey” tasting at Wine & SPA Hotel Chukara. It was not just a collaboration, but the result of a partnership that evolved into a true friendship with Ghoney – a brand that, much like us, believes in craftsmanship, pure flavors, and the magic of detail.

Together, we embraced the idea that the best experiences are born when we pour our hearts into them, and we did just that, through wine, honey, and a story told through aroma.

Driven by the desire to offer something different and memorable, we created an evening where the flavors didn’t just complement each other – they spoke to one another. Wine and honey guided our guests through a refined journey, full of surprises, warmth, and character. The event was designed as a voyage through the tastes of Chukara and the natural treasures of Bulgarian beekeeping, aiming to show how two seemingly different, yet equally noble ingredients can come together in an unexpectedly harmonious way.

Highlights of the tasting menu included:

Chukara Muscat Ottonel paired with acacia honey – a delicate duo with floral notes, unfolding softly and leaving a sense of spring freshness.
Chukara Sokay Chardonnay with linden honey – a balanced and calming combination with light herbal and citrus accents that emphasize the wine’s minerality.
Chukara Sokay Rosé with “Godinak” honey – a fruity symphony where the rosé and honey “speak” the language of summer, wild strawberries, and sunny days.
Chukara Sokay Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot with coriander honey – the boldest and most unforgettable pairing, where the richness of the red wine and the spicy-sweet nuances of the honey create a true explosion of flavor and aroma.
 
The “Wine & Honey” event showed that when two traditions – winemaking and beekeeping – come together, the result can be not just a gastronomic delight, but a lasting memory that lingers long after the final sip.
