Our history
Odessa region - the pearl
of winemaking of Ukraine!
The wine history of this region dates back to ancient times, when six hundred years BC the ancient Greeks founded the first colonies in the Northern Black Sea.
To its potential, the Odessa region is able to compete with Bordeaux, Piedmont, Champagne and the Rhine Valley.
The uniqueness of the Odessa terroir is conditioned by the influence of continental and maritime climate, salt estuaries and rich southern black earths. About 250 sunny days a year, most of the region lies within the so-called "wine latitude".
The Odessa region presented the world with unique local grape varieties and is ideally suited for growing classic European varieties: Chardonnay, Muscat, Traminer, Cabernet, Bastardo, Pinot Noir and others.
And the city of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, which is located south of Odessa, is the historic homeland of winemaking in the Odessa region.
It was here that for the first time in the history of the region the first vineyards were planted by the Greek immigrants, thus starting a new history of winemaking, which is proudly continued by the Akkerman Distillery.
