Bononia Estate traces its roots back to 1895, when Victor Olinger founded one of Bulgaria’s oldest breweries in Koshava, later transformed into a winery on the banks of the Danube near Vidin. Revived in 2019 by a passionate Bulgarian family, the estate combines historic heritage with modern winemaking technology. Its 160 hectares of vineyards lie in the fertile Danube terroir of the Vidin region, characterized by chernozem soils, mild westerly winds, and a temperate continental climate, ideal for both international and indigenous varieties such as Gamza, Dimyat and Vrachanski Misket. The winery produces up to 300 tons of white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines annually, using state-of-the-art equipment. Complementing the winery, Bononia Estate Winery & Resort offers a boutique hospitality experience with elegant rooms, fine dining, wine tastings, and exclusive activities along the Danube.
