The store has a wide variety of handmade, quality products. We bought several and would have bought more if we had had room in our luggage. Proceeds from some of the sales support local charities. Betty, the owner, is extremely friendly and a joy to talk to. Highly recommended.

What a great way to spend an afternoon! A group of us went to Tempus for a 2 hour wine tasting experience, and that it was. We tried 5 wines and Rakia enjoyed with cheeses and bread sticks, as on of my friends was gluten free, Kalin went above and beyond and catered for such dietary requirements. A very thoughtful touch. We learnt about the Bulgarian wine regions and the different grapes that each offer. I’d recommend the wine tasting with Kalin if ever in Sofia, he knows his stuff. He even recommended us a restaurant for dinner, we went and it was absolutely delicious. If ever back in Sofia, we will be sure to swing by and say hello - thanks Kalin for such a lovely experience.
