Step into the heart of ancient Serdica and discover Bulgaria’s most iconic taste – kiselo mlyako, the world-famous yogurt, presented with the warmth of true family hospitality. This 60-minute experience takes place inside The Walls of Serdica, a unique venue set among the Roman ruins beneath modern Sofia. Surrounded by centuries of history, taste authentic Bulgarian yogurt in several varieties, while a passionate young historian guides you through its thousand-year-old story, from Thracian traditions to the discovery of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. As part of the family welcome, enjoy homemade sweet bites, prepared following cherished recipes passed down through generations – a special gesture from the host's home to you. Each yogurt tasting is paired with sourdough bread, honey, and seasonal touches to highlight its delicate flavors.

Whether you’re a foodie, a history lover, or simply curious about Bulgarian traditions, this unique blend of flavor, heritage, and family atmosphere will leave you with both a story and a taste to remember.
