Villa Yambol: Inspired by the Aroma of Oak Barrels and Earthy Wines

About the Client

Villa Yambol is a renowned producer of premium red and white wines, with a legacy of excellence that has earned them numerous awards at prestigious international wine tasting competitions.

Our Role

Graphic Design, Creative Direction, Animation, Video Editing, User Interface Design, Project Management, Front-end Development, Back-end Development.

Founded in 1924, Villa Yambol is the oldest winery in Southern Bulgaria. The brand is deeply rooted in tradition, boasting exceptional wine quality and meticulous attention to detail. During our visit to their stunning facility, we discovered that Villa Yambol is one of the few winemakers with its own barrel workshop, where they craft new barrels from high-quality Bulgarian oak and repurpose old ones into unique bar accessories.

Visual Storytelling

To immerse viewers in the rich landscape of Yambol’s valley, we employed custom photography, meticulously refined to perfection. Each image reflects Villa Yambol’s deep passion for the land, dedication to the craft, and love for wine. The website was designed to be an engaging experience, inviting visitors to explore lush vineyards, witness the winemaking process, and admire sun-soaked grapes.

Moving Pictures

If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine the impact of moving images. Through the use of sound, storytelling, and emotional depth in video, we engage the senses and create an immediate connection between the user and the brand. Thoughtful editing builds trust, sparks curiosity, and adds entertainment value.

Beautiful Details

Our goal was to create a contemporary website that truly embodies the spirit of the winery. The design captures the earthy tones of the Yambol Valley and includes interactive maps that educate visitors about different wine regions, soil types, and grape characteristics.

Mobile Friendly

A seamless mobile experience is essential. Villa Yambol’s website features fluid design elements that adapt perfectly to any screen size, ensuring an optimal viewing experience on all devices.

Boutique Product Pages

Each product page narrates the story of the blend, details about the label, aroma descriptions, and food pairings. The bottle takes center stage as “the hero” in bold visuals and striking imagery.

What Else?

We are proud to be a long-term partner of Villa Yambol, having designed various website projects for the company’s different brands over the years.
