About us

NO limits! NO borders! NO compromise!

Odessos is one of the new Bulgarian wineries with a non-standard and modern concept located in the city of Varna.

The story begins in 2016. Traveling around the world and gaining experience in some of the most prestigious wineries in Australia, New Zealand and Chile, the brothers Georgi Vankov and Vladislav Vankov came up with the idea of creating one of the first urban wineries in Bulgaria.

The endless hours of work in different wineries around the world help them to gain experience and also realize that the most valuable quality of a wine is the terroir. This clarified the motto and philosophy behind Odessos Winery - to pursue and present their own interpretation of the Northern Black Sea region, working with precisely selected vineyards around the seaside city.

The first official vintage of the winery is 2020.

They start with four wines — Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir Rosé, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc.

With the second vintage, they expanded the winery's portfolio with another Cabernet Franc from a different vineyard, Syrah, Riesling, and the wine from a local Bulgarian variety — Dimyat.

In March 2023, Odessos Cabernet Franc Kavarna Single Vineyard 2021 got into the ranking of The top 50 best Bulgarian wines of the Bulgarian wine media DiVino. A few months later the same wine also received a silver medal at the prestigious Decanter Awards

In early spring 2023, the winery introduced another new label — Odessos Claret Blaskovo Single Vineyard 2022.
