SHABO and the ElitExpert editorial team invited a group of bloggers who previously participated in White Influence Night to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the SHABSKYI DVORYK restaurant. This trip was a continuation of the already established dialogue between the brand and the digital community — but this time it took on a new meaning: not in Odessa, but in the heart of wine-producing Bessarabia, in the territory of taste, traditions, and impressions.
The trip began with a comfortable transfer from Odessa to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. The first stop was the SHABO Sparkling Wine House, founded in 2010 - a place where elegant Ukrainian sparkling wines are born, created at the intersection of the experience of Swiss winemakers and the historical traditions of the region.
During the tour, participants were able to see the full cycle of sparkling wine production — from grape harvesting to champagne production in bottles using classical technology, as well as Charmat and Charmat Lungo technologies. The view of the vineyards, authentic architecture, and a sense of time created an unforgettable backdrop for the story of the birth of wine.
The next location is the SHABO Wine Culture Center. It is a true cultural attraction: French Taransaud oak vats, ancient cellars, modern production facilities, as well as art objects and an atmosphere that combines aesthetics, history and a deep respect for winemaking.
A special emotion was provided by the multimedia fountain of Dionysus - a steel cylinder engraved with symbols of the history of winemaking. Everything came to life to the music, and the water in the fountain changed color - as if symbolizing the birth of wine. This moment turned the tasting into a truly emotional experience.
SHABO is the first and so far the only winery in Ukraine that produces wines with controlled designations of origin. This is not marketing - it is confirmed by compliance with strict international standards.
The final chord was lunch at SHABSKYI DVORYK, a restaurant that has been welcoming guests on its blessed land for 15 years. Excellent cuisine, a thoughtful food pairing menu with SHABO wines, service, views of the vineyards and the estuary — everything was thought out to the smallest detail.
Among the guests of the event were bloggers, opinion leaders and friends of the brand. Dozens of stories, posts, mentions and photos from SHABO appeared on social networks that day: terraces, cellars, glasses, moments. But the main result is not reach, but emotion.
SHABO is a wine company that combines craftsmanship, respect for heritage, and the scale of vision. It is a space created with soul.
We saw a winery that we can truly be proud of.
