500-acre wine estatefarm-to-tableMelnik regionfamily friendlyvinotherapy & hydrotherapy

Just a few miles from the border with Greece, Aya Estate unfolds over 500 acres of rolling vineyards hills and stunning geological formations that characterize the Melnik region. This Tuscan-inspired property perfectly embodies a relatively undiscovered side of Bulgaria, bringing together its typical gastronomy and culture with wellness, for an ideal family getaway. The property’s close connections to this landscape are at the center of the guest experience. Wine is produced biodynamically from indigenous Wide Melnik grapes cultivated on site. The property’s two restaurants offer an authentic, natural menu made with estate-grown ingredients–including livestock, vegetable crops, even truffles. The same commitment to quality is found in the spa, where beauty treatments are formulated with grapes and honey from its hives. Aya Estate also includes an equestrian center, a large thermal mineral pool, and a dedicated cultural space, which hosts exhibitions and events, themed around art and wine. Everyone is free to enjoy their vacation at their own pace, amid 360-degree nature.

The vine, in all its forms

Discover the unique characteristics of the surrounding terroir through seasonal experiences that bring to life alongside the estate’s vineyards. In winter, you can get hands-on and help prune the vines. In spring and summer, enjoy picnics in their shade–the ideal way to appreciate this verdant landscape. And in autumn, it's harvest time, best enjoyed through guided tastings at local winemakers' estates. Throughout the year, the estate's cultural space hosts exhibitions that explore the dialogue between art and wine.
