Overview
No other experience near Sofia combines professional foraging, wild food identification, and a gourmet forest lunch cooked from what you find. Dobrin’s encyclopedic knowledge of Bulgaria’s flora and fungi — built over a lifetime — is the product. The forest is simply his kitchen. Every season brings different ingredients, different discoveries, and a completely different meal. This is not a tour. It is a day you will describe to people for years.
