Aestivum
Aestivum sits within Zornitza Village's winemaking estate in the Rhodope foothills, translating Bulgarian farmhouse cooking into a formal dinner format. Chef Veselin Kalev works with estate-grown and locally sourced produce, while sommelier Alexander Skorchev oversees a 449-selection wine list anchored in Bulgarian and French bottles. Dinner prices fall in the $$$ range, with wine available at moderate markup across a 5,750-bottle inventory.
