Orbelia Winery: Nestled at the Foot of Belasitsa Mountain

Orbelia Winery is a stunning establishment located in the Melnik region of Bulgaria's Struma Valley, right at the base of the majestic Belasitsa Mountain, near the charming village of Kolarovo. Since opening in 2013, Orbelia has become the most modern winery in the area, equipped with state-of-the-art technology for both laboratory and winemaking processes.

Preserving Bulgarian Culture Through Wine

The winery is dedicated to maintaining the rich traditions of Bulgarian winemaking. The interior reflects the essence of Bulgarian culture, emphasizing the importance of love, emotion, and passion in every bottle. The grapes thrive in maroon, diluvial, and alluvial soils, creating ideal conditions for their growth. The grape harvest is a significant event in the Melnik region, with careful monitoring to ensure optimal ripeness. Only the healthiest grapes are handpicked, ensuring the highest quality for their wines.

A Must-Try Tasting Experience

Natural mountain breezes help cool the grapes before fermentation begins, allowing for a gentle transformation into wine. The fermentation vessels are designed to minimize mechanical impact, preserving the integrity of the grapes. Notable wines to try include the Via Aristotelis White Blend 2019 and the Orbelia Rose Melnik 2019, both of which showcase the unique character of the region.
