Sarieva/Gallery Contributes to AYA Estate Vineyards — Bulgaria’s New Cultural Destination

At the end of September 2025, AYA Estate Vineyards will open its doors as a new cultural destination in Bulgaria, where winemaking, contemporary art, nature, and architecture come together in a unified experience. The opening will be marked by large-scale art installations created specifically for AYA, alongside selected works from the estate’s collection.

The art program at AYA Estate Vineyards is realized in collaboration with the established curators and art consultants Vessela Nozharova and Vesselina Sarieva. Since 2019, Vesselina Sarieva has been part of the curatorial team, contributing her expertise in spatial analysis, curatorial selection and internal competitions, positioning of artworks, creation of site-specific pieces, as well as organizing temporary exhibitions, cultural programs, and communications tailored to the spirit of the place.

Specially commissioned works for AYA include pieces by Stoyan Dechev, Marta Djurina, Marianne Lang, Ivo Toshain, and Eli Joteva, as well as artists represented by Sarieva Gallery – Nedko Solakov, Stefan Nikolaev, and Rudi Ninov. The collection also features works by Dimitar Genchev, Sasho Stoitzov, Kalin Serapionov, Stella Vassileva, Miryana Todorova, and numerous other Bulgarian and international artists.
 

Following the invitation-only opening, the program will include public wine tours, curated tours, annual exhibitions, and artist encounters, establishing AYA Estate Vineyards as a dynamic cultural venue of international significance.
