The Venue

Rakia Museum

A labor of love that stands behind a profound admiration for Bulgarian traditions and the cultural significance of rakia. As the founder, my journey into the world of rakia began with a personal connection to the art of distillation passed down through generations. Rakia, beyond being a spirit, is a vessel carrying the essence of Bulgarian heritage. It embodies the warmth of shared moments, the richness of our land's fruits, and the craftsmanship of generations past. The idea of the Rakia Museum was born out of a desire to celebrate and preserve this cultural treasure.
