Sofia: Banitsa Pastry Class with a Local with Bulgarian Wine

Experience an authentic culinary adventure in Sofia, Bulgaria, with this hands-on banitsa pastry class hosted by a local. You’ll meet at the convenient James Bourchier metro station, right by Hotel Marinela, before taking a short stroll through charming neighborhoods as your host shares insights into daily life in the city.

Arriving at your host’s cozy, top-floor apartment, you’ll be welcomed into a real Bulgarian home kitchen with stunning views of Sofia and Mount Vitosha. Here, you’ll learn how to prepare traditional banitsa from scratch, working with filo pastry, eggs, cheese, and yogurt under expert guidance.

While your freshly made banitsa bakes, relax on the balcony with a curated platter of local cheeses and cured meats, perfectly paired with a glass of boutique Bulgarian wine. Take this time to unwind, ask questions, and immerse yourself in the flavors and stories of Bulgarian food culture.

As the class wraps up, savor your homemade banitsa warm from the oven or take it with you as a delicious souvenir. You'll leave not only with new culinary skills but also a deeper appreciation for Bulgarian hospitality and traditions.
