Villa Yustina Winery
51 Nikola Petkov Str, 4228 Ustina, Bulgaria
In the shadow of the Rhodope Mountains, at the heart of the Yustina vineyard fields, we will finally seal the promise that began 11 years ago in the halls of high school. After weathering years of long-distance love and difficult times, crossing borders to live together in the UK, we've returned back home to begin our next chapter. On 4th of October we will look into each other’s eyes and whisper the long-awaited “I DO.”
