If we hadn't read Umberto Eco's first novel, we would have guessed, that the Name of the rose is Damascena, and the plot does not take place in a monastery in northern Italy, and in a distillery in Central Bulgaria. Not only the coming season of the rosebush reminds us of the heart of the Rose Valley and the small village of Skobelevo, nestled in the foothills of Stara Planina between Kazanlak and Pavel Banya. The Rose Festival is approaching and we are reserving the first weekend of June for a fragrant walk through the cool gardens with over 150 kind of roses!

ok where, because we are inveterate hedonists - we also reserve a table in the authentic restaurant of the complex "Damascene“, to try signature dishes and the famous rose water desserts.

Apart from the rose water and the famous Bulgarian rose oil, the first private distillery in our country is also proud of its own lavender oil and water, the series hand made and natural cosmetics, all natural crystallizing perfume and the essential oils, made with Bulgarian raw materials.

And the best thing is, that the production process does not pollute the environment, as it is based on steam and water-steam distillation without chemical solvents.

Intertwining the spirit of old traditions with the pinisa of modern rosé production, „Damascene"immerses his guests closely in the rose-making ritual. And I don't let them go, without tasting the famous rose jam, rose honey, rose liqueur and, of course, Gyul brandy…

Spraying the petals of Rosa damascena Mill around the world, the distillery is an ambassador of Bulgarian and never stops following the maxim of the Little Prince: precisely the time, what you lost for your rose, makes her so important!
