Just steps from Sarajevo’s Music Academy at Pehlivanuša 5, Balkantina welcomes you with local hosts who lead thoughtfully designed workshops and tastings.

Visitors are especially drawn to the themed culinary experiences. The Flavors of Sarajevo tour combines sightseeing with tasting traditional dishes like ćevapi, pies, and desserts. The Bosnian Pie Workshops teach you how to roll dough and make classic pies—burek (meat pie), sirnica (cheese pie), krompiruša (potato pie), and zeljanica (spinach pie).

The Wine and Cheese Tasting introduces local native wines paired with selected cheeses, while the Rakija Tasting explains the differences between plum, apricot, quince, and grape brandies, and why rakija is savored slowly, in good company, with a traditional meze.

Balkantina also offers special cooking workshops, either privately or in small groups, where you can learn to make šarena dolma (a colorful mix of stuffed vegetables), klepe (Bosnian dumplings), and other traditional homemade dishes.

For those visiting Sarajevo not just for landmarks but for its people, stories, and tastes, Balkantina is a must-visit. Learn more at www.balkantina.ba, and use promo code NAVIGATOR for 10% off all experiences.
