Really lovely and informative experience. Especially good if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands while exploring Plovdiv

This was a really lovely and informative experience. Really great if you’re wondering what other activities there are to do in Plovdiv besides history and museums. I actually learned a few new things too! Thanks Jen!

My husband and I had such a lovely time at the Bulgarian Honey Company experience. Jen was awesome and very knowledgeable about honey. She made the whole experience fun and interactive and told us about the interesting history that honey has in Bulgaria. All of the honey was fantastic (think we tried about 15 different types!), we enjoyed trying the yummy mead and learning about other products like pollen, propolis, and bee bread. It was all so cool to learn about and we definitely recommend giving it a try!

The honey and mead tasting was thorough and included a lot of different tastes. There were some that I didn't even expect to see but they were all delicious. I am a honey lover and the tasting proved to be the perfect choice. Jen made the whole experience even better with her deep knowledge. She's passionate about the topic and was willing to answer all our questions. Overall, I'll be recommending this experience to everyone who loves honey and mead.

She gave us a history of how this business had been passed down to her husband and herself . The honey tasting was fab and everything was provided by Jen Thank you for sharing your time and in creating memories for us as a family visiting family . We look forward to eating our Chilli honey 🍯 Afterwards we ate the best doughnuts just down the street at Bluestone doughnuts with delicious coffee served by Uncle doughnuts himself 🇧🇬😊

A fun and unique experience! Jen is very sweet and knowledgeable about everything honey and mead! This was a birthday gift for my mother and she absolutely loved it. We all learned a lot about the honey making process while tasting some delicious honey.

This was a highlight of our Plovdiv trip! The location is very central to all the other activities so it was a nice compliment to a full day of sightseeing. The owner was very kind and friendly - she really taught us a lot and answered all of our questions! Fun and informative. The honey is also delicious, but even more so it is a FUN activity!

The room was very cute and Jen was really lovely, gave a great presentation with a fun atmosphere (bonus- the honey all tasted great too)

We just happened upon this magical sweet store while wandering the streets of Plovdiv. The owner, a fellow American expat, is delightful. We sampled all the delicious flavors of honey and can recommend every single one! Buy the largest jar you can because you'll want your favorite flavor around for as long as possible. My personal favorite is Unity is Power- all the things I normally add to tea (or a hot toddy) all in one jar! It is scrumptious. But wait- there's more! Mead! Make sure you sample the mead while you're there.

Jen and Mitko offer amazing products. Their honey is delicious, but also come in delicious flavors like lavender. Their meads are fantastic and I hope to find them in more restaurants in the future.
