Description

Ćevapčići and Šlivovica – these are probably the two culinary specialities that most of us associate with the Balkans. But rakija is much more than just the famous plum brandy – rakija is a part of Bosnian culture, an art and an insight into the mentality of the Bosnians!

Our foodie guide and rakija curator will welcome you at Sebilj, Sarajevo’s landmark, and introduce you to the art of rakija: Where does it come from, how is it drunk?

Accompanied by your guide, you will not only learn exciting facts about the history and tradition of rakija, you will also visit local cafés and learn how to drink this classic drink properly. Of course, you will also taste different flavours: plum, cherry, quince or honey. There will also be typical Bosnian mezze.

Includes
  • Guided rakija tasting session

  • Multiple rakija varieties

  • Explanation of production methods and traditions

  • Cultural storytelling by a local host

  • Light snacks or traditional bites (if part of your standard offering)

Good to know
  • Participants must be of legal drinking age.

  • This is a tasting experience — quantities are moderate and focused on flavor exploration.

  • The experience is ideal for those interested in local traditions and Balkan spirits.

  • Please inform us in advance about allergies or dietary restrictions if snacks are included.

  • The tasting takes place indoors in a cozy, authentic setting.

  • Private tastings can be arranged upon request.

  • It’s recommended not to drive immediately after the experience.
