Wonderful wine tasting led by owner of small shop in heart of Sofia

Definitely a hidden gem, and such a fun, informative way to learn about Bulgaria's wonderful wines. Just a few blocks from Vitosha Ave, and well-worth booking for a great experience. It's super easy to make a reservation, and then you'll have a private tasting with Alexander. We sampled several red and white wines from various regions across Bulgaria, and learned so much. It's a very reasonable fee for the wines, experience and the fresh, delicious cheeses (and crackers) served alongside. We bought a few bottles to bring back based on what we learned were our preferences. Highly recommend as a fun outing in Sofia.

Very good

We tasted all Bulgarian wines. 2 white and 3 red, along with a couple of nice cheeses. Alex was knowledgeable about the wines and the areas they were grown. Enjoyable tastings.

Interesting Wines of Bulgaria

The Wine and cheese was great - it was good to be exposed to indigenous wine varieties of Bulgaria and learn the wine growing arenas of the country. However during my visit the presenter did not know I was coming and as a result the presentation was often interrupted by other aspects of running his business.

Operator response

Thank you, Jennifer! Next time I'll place a message by the entrance "Attention, VIP. Stay outside!", keeping my regular customers in front of the shop. That's ridiculous!

Was hoping for a better experience based on reviews

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to taste. Our group of 4 wasn’t welcomed because we didn’t have a reservation, and there was another party there. So, if you go, know that the space is tiny and they take one group at a time. Reservations required was not listed on the storefront. Not client oriented, sadly.

Operator response

I have to explain why someone, for a reason that he cannot explain very well, rated my product, which he did not have the opportunity to try, with a bad rating. That's ridiculous and completely unfair!

Bad experience

Would not recommend this, the guide was abrupt and not engaging at all, the experience only lasted 30 mins, a waste of money unfortunately

Operator response

No comment! Speechless!

Wine and cheese tasting- DEFINITELY GO!!

Alex was amazing, very well versed about the wines and has a warm demeanor. It’s like he’s your uncle you never knew you needed and had the coolest wine shop with such history.

Perfect introduction to bulgarian wine

It was a very wonderful and informative wine tasting. Everything was from Bulgaria. I highly recommend to do it early when visiting Sofia because you will also get great restaurant recommendations.

Fascinating, Educating Experience

We had a very enjoyable experience learning about Bulgarian wines that we did not even know existed. Aleks was very welcoming and explained everything very well, we tried 5 different grape varieties and 2 lovely cheeses. We were so impressed with the wine that we ended up buying some bottles to take home.
