Обиколката ще започне пред входа на катедралата Александър Невски - една от най-големите православни катедрали в Източна Европа, която е и една от основните атракции в столицата на България. След като групата се събере, ще отделим известно време, за да се опознаем и всеки ще има възможност бързо да посети катедралата, преди да започнем с Art Tour и да направим няколко снимки. Тогава ще ви заведа в специална подземна крипта - музей на българската иконопис. Ще продължим към Националната галерия, която се намира в друг исторически паметник на културата - Двореца на краля. Следващата дестинация е Галерия Минерва, която се намира в най-престижния хотел в центъра на София - Гранд Хотел София. Следващата дестинация е Софийска градска художествена галерия, чиито настоящи фондове са 3500 картини, 800 скулптури, 2800 графики и рисунки. Продължаваме към новооткритата и модерна художествена галерия - New Art Space. След това ще преминем председателството и ще влезем в тунелите, където се намира Древният комплекс Сердика. След това отиваме в малка художествена галерия, където можете да видите няколко страхотни картини на популярни български художници. Приключваме обиколката на тайна частна галерия, където всеки от гостите ще получи по едно питие :) - чаша вино, бира или вода. Ще се радваме да чуем вашите отзиви и да ни кажете как сте прекарали времето си :).

I will take you on a culinary adventure of the national Bulgarian cuisine. We will prepare seasonal meals and use fresh and locally grown products from the small local grocery stores. Together we will cook a hands-on four-course, traditional Bulgarian meal, including banitsa, a main dish, a salad or a soup, and a light dessert. We will start with the preparation of the classic pastry for banitsa from scratch while talking about mystical Bulgarian food and culture habits stories. Our soup will be traditional Bulgarian cold soup - Tarator (we will cook it only when cucumbers are tasty and in season - spring, summer or early autumn time, for the wintertime we will prepare a winter salad) followed by the main course, which will be based on your food preferences (vegetarian or classic meat dish) and finishing with delicious Bulgarian yogurt dessert with homegrown/made ingredients. You will have the chance to learn classic recipes and secret tips for mastering Bulgarian cuisine. I will be happy to share with you products grown in my family's back yard with a lot of love and care, like homemade alcoholic drinks and classic Bulgarian preserves. Other things to note Vegetarian and Vegan options are available upon request. Please, inform me about any food allergies.

We will visit my cosmetic laboratory and we will be doing for 1 hour and half handmade cosmetics with the traditional Bulgarian Rose and Lavender essential oils. You will make your own Rose/ Lavender body balm and Rose/ Lavender lip balm. While crafting we will talk about how to use essential and carrier oils, what properties they possess, how to make infusions with herbs and other interesting topics related to cosmetics. After we have made our first product I will give you a presentation about the rose oil, how and where it's produced, and what's so special about it. You will be able to smell 3 types of lavender- Bulgarian, French and English and tell the differences between them! In the end you will go home with a small bottle of 100% pure Bulgarian Lavender essential oil, dry rose buds for a tea from the famous Valley of Roses and your own hand made products! Other things to note Due to the urgent need to reduce the risks related to the COVID -19 pandemic we should follow the safe work practices to protect ourselves from exposure to COVID-19. The workshop is held in small groups of only 3 people. The workshop is adjusted for the needs of the pandemic - reduced crafting time, no sweets or tea drinks, no shared lab coats and reduced experience price. Wearing protection mask and gloves is mandatory.
