This unforgettable evening will be the perfect moment of your life, filled with the beauty of art, the atmosphere of an amazing place and wonderful live communication!See you soon!

Massandra Wine Production Center



The Massandra Winemaking Center is a concern that unites many enterprises. Its heart is a vintage wine factory located near Yalta. There are wine cellars, the oldest in Crimea, built by the famous and skilled winemaker, Prince Lev Golitsyn, at the end of the 19th century.

The building of the main wine cellar resembles an ancient castle and is a unique architectural monument that provides special aesthetic pleasure. The antique mechanical clock in the main tower chimes every hour musically.
The second building of the Massandra Wine Production Center was built already in the XX century, it now houses the administration of the factory, and the historical one has everything necessary for storing and servicing wines. In the center of the winery there is a spacious square, under which there are wine cellars. A line is drawn in the middle of it — a kind of boundary between the XIX and XX centuries in the history of this plant.

Standing here, it is impossible not to admire the stunning architecture of this amazing ensemble, set against the backdrop of the Crimean mountains.

  • A ball is always happiness, a celebration, a celebration of beauty, grace, grace and art! It is a complex and incredibly emotionally demanding action, especially during its preparation and implementation. We are eternal fans of the Sevastopol Ball and the people who create it, and Dmitry and Ekaterina are his heart and soul!!! Our ball has many Guardian Angels who tried very hard yesterday! We've been anxiously monitoring the weather all week, with rain forecast for Sunday and Saturday, but by the middle of last week it had shifted to Sunday night and Monday... The ball ended, and we went home to Sevastopol tired and happy. A thunderstorm was already waiting for us on the highway!!!

  • Бал даёт возможность попасть в романтический праздник, станцевать со своим кавалером классические танцы в особенной обстановке среди интересных людей. Балы отличаются от дискотеки строгим этикетом, повышенной торжественностью и самим набором танцев. Но Крымский Оперный Бал расширяет границы традиционных европейских представлений об этом мероприятии. Этот Бал- поэтическое событие высокой художественной и интеллектуальной ценности. Я считаю, что Крымский Оперный Бал входит в нематериальное культурное наследие России.

  • It's a hot Sunday evening, the southern city is full of people and cars, the usual hustle and bustle.... We climb the serpentine to the main building of the Massandra winery, a cluster of cars and, lo and behold, fabulous creatures in magnificent, transparent outfits and men in strict black suits with colorful butterflies begin to appear from the cars! On the square in front of the Massandra Winery building, the entire space is filled with white, pink, blue, sparkling and shimmering - ladies in gorgeous dresses. Music is playing. The Crimean Opera Ball begins!! I found myself in a completely different reality! Amazing, very beautiful! Thanks to the Organizers! Sevastopol Ball was a real celebration of female, all-consuming beauty and male gallantry!

  • As Anton Chekhov said, "Everything in a person should be beautiful, and the face, and clothes, and soul, and thoughts." When going to the Crimean Opera Ball, there is a very strong desire to match the words of the great writer. The ball has taken place! And I am sure that he filled all the guests and participants with energy, love and beauty again.
