This is probably the best winery in south Bulgaria for visits and tasting. Unlike most others you can just drop in during work hours and there will always be someone to show you around and conduct the tasting. The prices are great for the experience and quality of wine that you taste. The tour is interesting and informative. Buy the higher tasting package as it includes the best wines from Villa Melnik + a wonderful cheese and meats platter. Everyone in the winery is very friendly and this just makes the experience truly great. Last but not least - the view of and from the winery is nothing short of a Tuscan postcard!

We went to this winery because we saw the pictures and heard about the wine. We were not disappointed on either front. The view was astounding and the wine tasted amazing. We tried 3 different wines and bought a bottle of each. The staff was super friendly and dedicated to their craft and the area. I can't recommend trying this place enough.

We tried four wines for six leva, and liked them so much we stayed for several more glasses (three leva each). The view was beautiful, and getting there means you walk through all of Melnik. I'm not sure why people are so down on the owner. He was very welcoming to us; standing by to answer all the many questions we had. We liked the first wine, a mix of several varieties of local white grapes, and the second wine, a "Semi-dry" red which was rather sweet (in my opinion at least).
