A traditional Rakya tasting session offers a delightful opportunity to explore the rich flavors and cultural heritage of Bulgaria. Guests are invited to savor three distinct samples of Rakya, a traditional Bulgarian fruit brandy, each crafted with unique ingredients and methods that highlight the diversity of this cherished beverage. From the aromatic notes of plum or apricot to the robust flavors of grape or quince, each sip reveals the craftsmanship and tradition behind Rakya-making. The experience is not only a sensory journey but also a chance to learn about the historical and cultural significance of this iconic drink.
Complementing the Rakya tasting is a traditional Bulgarian meal that perfectly pairs with the spirit. Guests can indulge in a variety of authentic dishes, such as shopska salad, banitsa, or hearty stews, all prepared with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. This harmonious blend of food and drink creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, offering participants a true taste of Bulgaria’s culinary traditions and hospitality.

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.
