Artyomovsk Winery

Wine making traditions were set in Artyomovsk city over 50 years ago.

Throughout this time the Winery has polished up its craft to become the largest East European facility producing exquisite bottled sparkling wines. Today Artyomovsk Winery is our national pride. The production cycle has no matches in Ukraine, as it is located 72 metres underground in fantastic caves with a total area of 26 hectares. Over 30 million wine bottles are simultaneously kept here.

The history of the Winery goes back to 1950, when the USSR Ministers Council issued a decree to establish a wine-storage in Artyomovsk underground mine tunnels. The conditions here perfectly matched the purpose: favourable temperatures, humidity and a large territory for wine storage.

It was a hard task to launch the production as the abandoned mines were flooded. Today the underground territory is a complex of brightly-lit caves with elaborate carvings and colour arches. Classic bottled wine-making provides for an individual control over each bottle and involves a great deal of hand work to produce top quality wines which are highly appraised both in Ukraine and abroad.

Artyomovsk Winery is a frequent prize winner at international contests and exhibitions. It also holds dozens of prestigious awards and certificates confirming the high quality of its wine.

The place is open for pre-booked tours. English-speaking guides will take you around the fascinating fairy-tale process, which turns a wine mix into the finest sparkling drink.
