Odessos Winery is one of the new wave of Bulgarian wineries, located in the city of Varna on the Black Sea coast, with a groundbreaking and very modern concept and whose story began in 2016. After travelling around the world and gaining experience at some of the most prestigious wineries in Australia, New Zealand and Chile, the brothers Georgi and Vladislav Vankov came up with the idea of creating one of the first urban wineries in Bulgaria. Love for winemaking has been in their family for generations, and the idea of creating Odessos was a natural continuation of this passion. If they have learned anything from the endless hours of work in different wineries around the world, it is that the most valuable asset for a great wine is its terroir. This clarified the motto and philosophy of the winery - to pursue and present their own interpretation of the Northern Black Sea region, working with carefully selected vineyards of prime terroir around the seaside city. Returning from each of their wine campaigns in New World countries brought more and more success to their winemaking experiments and helped the Vankov brothers gain the necessary experience and courage to make their official start in 2020 with their first vintage.
