Located near the stunning Stone Forest and just a short drive from Varna, Prisoe Winery is a family-owned vineyard run by Rumen and Stefan Baltadzhiev. This father-son duo is dedicated to crafting exceptional wines, pouring their passion and expertise into every bottle. They are hands-on in every step of the winemaking process, ensuring that each wine reflects their commitment to quality.
The name "Prisoe" comes from an old Bulgarian term that describes a sunny, warm place. The winery is nestled in a picturesque landscape surrounded by acacia forests, basking in sunlight, and benefiting from refreshing sea breezes. The unique soil composition, a blend of fine white sand from the ancient seabed and rich black earth from the Danube plain, provides an ideal environment for grape cultivation. Construction of the winery began in the summer of 2005, and by 2007, the first vines—Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot—were planted.
After four years of hard work, the first vintage was ready for harvest, marking a significant milestone for the family.
At Prisoe Winery, the philosophy centers on honoring traditional winemaking techniques passed down through generations. Red grape fermentation occurs in 500-liter casks, and the new wine matures in similar barrels. Chardonnay grape must also undergoes fermentation and aging in these barrels. This approach allows the family to create wines with distinct character that appeal to discerning wine enthusiasts.
Prisoe Winery primarily cultivates classic grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The unique terroir of the Black Sea Coast region enables the family to produce high-quality wines that blend traditional methods with a contemporary touch, resulting in wines that are both timeless and innovative.

We arrived at the Prisoe winery, after an interesting visit at the Stone Forest. We met the young winemaker, and later his mother. We explained that we wanted some Bulgarian cultivar wines to take home. Stefan said that he had a white Misquette that would suit our requirements. He told us about the winery, the terroir, the barrels, wine making etc. Very interesting and informative and unhurried. Both Stefan and Mrs Baltadjiev speak very good English, which made things a lot easier. Needless to say we left with quite a few bottles of yummy wine
A great example of how to live meaningfully. A small Bulgarian family has created a beautiful business, growing several types of grapes and making fantastic wine. We bought 14 bottles and also received sweet grapes as a gift.

Amazing experience, it was really interesting to learn all the details about the wine production and especially about this particular winery. The vine is one of the best I have tasted and the food was also really nice.

I did the tour and tasting (with cheese/meat platter). The son, a passionate winemaker, gives the tour. The way he tells his story shows his passion for the profession. The wine they make is delicious! Highly recommended.
