Overview

This is not just a yoghurt tasting – it’s a cultural journey set inside the ancient Roman ruins of Serdica, in the very heart of Sofia.

You’ll taste authentic Bulgarian yoghurt made from cow, sheep, goat, and buffalo milk – each served with carefully chosen pairings such as sourdough bread, honey, and homemade pastries.

What makes this experience truly unique is the blend of flavour and culture: while you enjoy the tasting, a young local host with a passion for history shares the thousand-year storey of yoghurt, 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 venue where centuries of history surround you, this experience is perfect for food lovers, families, and curious travellers seeking something authentic. It’s a taste of Bulgaria you’ll remember long after your visit.

Activity itinerary

Discover Bulgaria’s most iconic food – yoghurt – in a truly unforgettable setting: the ancient Roman ruins of Serdica, hidden beneath modern Sofia. During this exclusive 60-minute tasting, you’ll sample four varieties of authentic Bulgarian yoghurt – cow, sheep, goat, and buffalo – each paired with sourdough bread, honey, and seasonal toppings. While you taste, a young historian will guide you through the thousand-year storey of yoghurt, from Thracian traditions to the discovery of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, the unique bacteria that made Bulgarian yoghurt world-famous. To bring a touch of home, we also share homemade sweet bites prepared with family recipes passed down through generations – a warm gesture from our family to yours. Whether you’re a foodie, a history lover, or simply curious about authentic traditions, this tasting blends flavour, culture, and atmosphere like no other. Seats are limited inside the ruins – book now to enjoy a storey and a taste you’ll never forget.
