What you get
Three handpicked Bulgarian wines, each poured and explained in person: the grape, the winery and why it is on our list. Alongside them, cheese and cured meats from Bulgarian producers. At the end you get recommendations on where to find these wines again and what to try next in Sofia.
Small by design
The cellar is small. We take up to 7 guests per tasting so the conversation stays personal.
Allergies
The cheese may contain traces of nuts. Please tell us in advance if you have an allergy.
Sundays: tasting and live music
On Sundays the tasting is at 6 pm, followed by a concert by a local musician in the cellar — our Cultural Sunday. Entry to the concert is free; pay what you can for the music.
