It sounds unbelievable, but the road of Tonnellerie Valoga from a small family business in Bulgaria to a large international company with clients and friends all over the world is not the plot of a movie, but a true story.

The founder of Valoga is Mr. Petar Ivanov, a Bulgarian doctor, who died in 2022. Now the company is run by his daughter Eng. Stella Ivanova.

Direct contact between manufacturer and customer is and always will be the winning choice. You will always talk to those who are in charge of production and who are personally accountable for everything.

Our product range includes Barrels & Barriques, Vats, Fermenters & Barrel Alternatives (powder, chips, blocks and staves of oak, wild cherry, acacia, wild pear and mulberry).

We are always looking for new products to offer to expand your opportunities. Today, we are the first and only cooperage in the world to produce wild pear alternatives. We are a leading producer of cherry barrels and cherry alternatives. We are among the best producers of oak barrels and fermenters. At SIMEI 2022 we presented for the first time our innovation – Mulberry: Powder, chips and blocks.  The mulberry is the last generation of alternatives that can help in fermentations and refinements to achieve cost-effective fine wines. In winemaking, the mulberry gives wine hints of white fruits, honey and vanilla. In distillation it increases smoothness and color. It makes the color very eye-catching. The process is very fast.
