About us

Our history

Domaine Boyar was the first private wine-making company after the changes in Bulgaria in 1989 and it was registered in 1991, both in Sofia and in London. In the years of economic transition that followed Domaine Boyar became one of the biggest and most prestigious producers and exporters of Bulgarian wines in Europe, Canada, and Japan. 

The biggest markets of the company are the United Kingdom, the Benelux, Canada, Russia, and the Scandinavian countries.

Domaine Boyar and "Sinite skali” /the Blue stones/" are the only Bulgarian wines that were included in the prestigious British ranking "Top 50" of AC Nielsen.

Vineyards

Domaine Boyar has a long-term partnership with the best grape growers from the Thracian lowlands region and some other microregions in the country. Our oenologists work together with the vine growers monitoring all agro-technical activities at the same time. Our team sets the criteria in relation to grape quality, regulated yield and the exact time of harvesting the grape. In this way grape growers focus entirely on achieving the best grape quality based on our requirements, and oenologists - on achieving the best quality of wines produced from that grape. In our production we use a wide range of European and local grape varieties and our goal is to achieve maximum varietal expression and to create blends that are interesting and exciting on the palate of connoisseurs.
