Top Sofia Food & Drink Classes

This experience is a passion project started by two law graduates turned professional guides and wine enthusiasts, Yoan and Ivelin (that’s us in the photo). Join us as we dive deep into Bulgarian history and culture through its drinks. This isn’t just a tasting. It’s an invitation into a warm, cozy atmosphere where history comes alive. On this 2-hour journey into Bulgarian culture, you’ll explore over 3,000 years of wine and rakia-making traditions. A local host will guide you through five local wine varieties and the Balkans’ most iconic drink - rakia - perfectly paired with traditional bites. Experience Bulgaria in a glass through its traditional drinks. This experience means a great deal to us, as the history of wine and spirits is our personal passion. We’re truly excited to share it with you.

Partake in a Sofia experience that most tourists miss out on, and get better acquainted with the famous Bulgarian rose.
