With a history that stretches over seven millennia, ruin-rich Sofia is one of Europe's oldest cities. The National Historical Museum is one of Eastern Europe's most extensive.

What a great way to spend an afternoon! A group of us went to Tempus for a 2 hour wine tasting experience, and that it was. We tried 5 wines and Rakia enjoyed with cheeses and bread sticks, as on of my friends was gluten free, Kalin went above and beyond and catered for such dietary requirements. A very thoughtful touch. We learnt about the Bulgarian wine regions and the different grapes that each offer. I’d recommend the wine tasting with Kalin if ever in Sofia, he knows his stuff. He even recommended us a restaurant for dinner, we went and it was absolutely delicious. If ever back in Sofia, we will be sure to swing by and say hello - thanks Kalin for such a lovely experience.

We found Enjoywine in our free Sofia tour guidebook and were so glad we did! Our two hour visit was the second best thing we did in Sofia (the best being the Rila mountains)! We were greeted by Ilia who offered us a free 3 wine degustation - one white, red and rose, all Bulgarian wines (I think they only deal in Bulgarian wine). Here we were told how the owners experiment with different blends to make their own wine. We went on to have two glasses each (me having the white and my boyfriend the red) for a very reasonable price (only 5 lev a glass - 2,5Euros). As well as the wine being very drinkable, it was great to chat with Ilia about Bulgarian wine, Sofia and just things in general. We also bought a bottle of wine, following a recommendation from Ilia, and it also went down a treat! There is a lot to learn and experience about Bulgarian wine here - for beginners like ourselves and for more advanced wine drinkers. If you like wine, you have to visit Enjoywine! I can't recommend it enough!

Coupage (Купаж in Bulgarian) is a gourmet store for selected Bulgarian wines, aged cheese and cold cuts from small producers. Only for connoisseurs - the best of Bulgaria. This is the only store in Sofia for local gourmet products. Come and taste it.

We stumbled across this beautiful wine bar and the owner gave us amazing advice on what to do in Sofia. He ran a brilliant wine tasting and we got to try all the delicious cheese. The wine tasting is an absolute must do when you come and visit Sofia.
