Zornitza Family Estate Relais & Châteaux joined AYA’s family
Zornitza Family Estate Relais & Châteaux has joined MFG and AYA Estate Vineyards’ family. The acquisition, which was legally completed in December 2025, unites two projects with a common philosophy – respect for terroir, nature and the local community.
The transaction is part of a long-term investment strategy focused on the development of the AYA brand, which aims to position the region as an international destination for wine, gastronomic, and cultural tourism - and beyond. Under the AYA umbrella are already projects in winemaking, as well as initiatives dedicated to the development of the cultural scene and contemporary art spaces.
In the short term, carefully considered renovations of the hotel and villas are planned, with a focus on further elevating the quality of service, while preserving the architectural character and the strong connection to the surrounding environment. The estate will continue to be part of Relais & Châteaux.
In the broader perspective, the acquisition enhances the potential for the holistic development of AYA — spanning viticulture and winemaking, gastronomy, sustainable agriculture, cultural programming, as well as high-end tourism and sport.
