Ivan Plachkov:

“My greatest achievement, I believe, is that Odesa Black has become the flagship of Ukrainian winemaking. Once forgotten, today it is a grape variety that dozens of Ukrainian winemakers proudly cultivate. Ukraine now officially has its own recognizable wine — and that wine is Odesa Black.”

On April 17, 2025, the Ukrainian restaurant Mriya together with Kolonist winery is hosting a wine dinner. You will have 5 courses specially made to pair 5 Kolonist wines.
