Welcome to Rakia Museum
A labor of love that stands behind a profound admiration for Bulgarian traditions and the cultural significance of rakia.

Welcome to Rakia Museum

The Idea

The idea of the Rakia Museum was born out of a desire to celebrate and preserve this cultural treasure.Our mission is twofold: to offer an immersive experience for enthusiasts to delve into the history, production, and enjoy flavors of rakia, and to contribute to the ongoing narrative of Bulgarian identity.

The Collection

Each bottle in our collection, every artifact on display, is a testament to the artistry and inovativity embedded in the tradition of rakia-making.I invite you to explore the exhibits, savor the diverse aromas during our tastings, and immerse yourself in the cultural narrative woven within these walls.  The Rakia Museum is not merely a space; it is a journey through time, a celebration of heritage, and an invitation to share the spirit of Bulgaria.

The Story

As the founder, my journey into the world of rakia began with a personal connection to the art of distillation passed down through generations.Rakia, beyond being a spirit, is a vessel carrying the essence of Bulgarian heritage. It embodies the warmth of shared moments, the richness of our land's fruits, and the craftsmanship of generations past.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit! Zuerst wurde uns alles mögliche über die Herstellung und die verschiedenen Arten von Rakia erzählt und anschließend wurde uns die ausgiebige Kollektion des Gastgebers gezeigt. Dann haben wir diverse Rakia verkostet und haben sogar noch einen Negroni aufs Haus bekommen. Alles in allem eine wirklich tolle Experience mit einem sehr aufmerksamen Gastgeber! Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Силно препоръчвам Музея на Ракията за повод и без повод! Много хубава атмосфера и страхотен избор от ракии. И много добре се погрижиха за нас, със сигурност ще повторим 🙂

ソフィアの新名所、立ち寄りマストです! ブルガリアの伝統酒ラキアを飲み比べできるだけでなく、ラキアの歴史、ブルガリア人の心意気にまで触れられます。 なかなか観光で現地の方から生活ぶりを聞けることがないので、とても貴重な体験でした。 店内の装飾、中庭の展示、テーブル席、全てに拘りが感じられ、古き良き時代にタイムスリップした気分でした。 スタッフは皆さん感じが良くて、丁寧に説明してくれました。 日本の月桂冠も展示されていましたよ。 オーナーは日本に行ったことがあるそうで、楽しくお話できました。 ラキアや日本にはないジャムなどのお土産も買えるのが嬉しいです。 たまたま雨上がりの閉店前で空いていましたが、特に週末は観光客で賑わいます。 オープンしたばかりのラキア博物館、ぜひ観光ルートに加えていただきたいです。
