This region is perfect for growing grapes and producing wines with a climate and growing conditions similar to Burgundy in France.Gentle slopes with good soils and rainfall, mild winters and warm summers.

Our region is famous for white grapes such as Chardonnay, Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc but also classic red grapes like Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Shiraz are successfully grown.

Vinex Slavyantsi was founded in 1898 as is now one of the leading wineries in Bulgaria. Over the last 20 years big investments have been made in the winery and in the vineyards. Today we have approx. 700 ha of our own vinyards and every year we produce over 10 million liters of wine.
