Euxinograd winery, Royal winery in Varna, Bulgaria
Euxinograd winery is an underground facility beneath palace grounds with two levels of cellars designed for wine production and storage. The stone-built rooms maintain specific temperature conditions needed for proper aging and development of the wines and brandies kept inside.
The winery began in 1891 as part of a royal summer palace complex and first produced wines for the Bulgarian royal family's use. Over time it developed into an established production facility with systematic methods for making wine and brandy.
The winery preserves Bulgarian winemaking traditions through the production of white wines and brandies that follow methods passed down over generations. The cellars themselves reflect how local artisans have worked with these wines and spirits for more than a century.
The facility offers guided tours through the wine cellars where visitors can explore the underground spaces, along with tasting sessions of its products. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since the tour involves walking through multiple levels below ground.
The facility maintains a rare collection of more than twenty different wines and brandies rarely found together in this variety elsewhere. The combination of royal history and artisanal production makes this place particularly valuable for those interested in local beverages.
