Overview
This is not just a yogurt tasting – it’s a cultural journey set inside the elegant Arte Hotel, located in the very heart of Sofia, just steps away from the ancient ruins of Serdica.
You’ll taste five distinct varieties of authentic Bulgarian yogurt – cow, sheep, goat, buffalo, and a special blend – each served with carefully chosen pairings such as artisanal sourdough bread, local honey, homemade bites, and refreshing Ayran.
What makes this experience truly unique is the blend of flavor and culture: while you enjoy the tasting, a local host with a passion for history shares the thousand-year story of yogurt, from Thracian roots to its role in Bulgarian identity today. You’ll also hear about Lactobacillus bulgaricus – the remarkable bacteria found only in this region, long believed to hold the secret to health and longevity.
Hosted in a premium venue where modern comfort meets history, this experience is perfect for food lovers, families, and curious travelers.
