We are the Ivanov family – Svetla and Iliya, and our sons Petar and Vladimir. Together with our friend, the oenologist and agronomist Stefan Choranov, we established Maryan Winery in 2010. Our idea is to create small batches of wine and to continue the traditions of winemaking with great love and faith in the uniqueness of the Elena region.

We named the winery after the village of Maryan. This is where we passionately craft our wines. The extraordinary history of the village is connected to the legend of the beautiful Kera Tamara. She was the daughter of Tsar Ivan Alexander and the sister of Tsar Ivan Shishman: the last Bulgarian ruler.
