Centuries-old wine tradition from the Macedonian climate –Tikves Winery

For 139 long years, Tikves has been producing premium wines from the best grapes from Tikves, which are known all over the world.

The tradition dates back to the distant 1885, when the company was founded, which continues to this day with the production of quality wines from the Tikves region with the most modern technology.

Over the years, the company has faced various challenges, both from a business perspective and from weather conditions that directly affect their specific raw material, but still Tikves managed to build a successful and recognizable brand in the Balkans and beyond in the time before the Second World War. By the end of the sixties of the last century, Tikves became the largest wine cellar in Southeast Europe, and at the end of the next decade, the facilities for accommodating and aging the wines increased even more, and a new central plant with an automatic filling line was built.


From the beginning of the 2000s, Tikves got a new owner, and since then extensive investments began to completely modernize the winery and improve the production processes. So, in 2008, the "Tikves" brand was declared as one of the 30 most innovative wine brands in the world. Today, Tikves is a world-renowned producer of classic wines, but also of premium wines, some of which have won gold medals and other high awards.


All these years since the first edition of 200 LARGEST AND SUCCESSFUL, Tikves is part of the lists and constantly improves its results. 2022 brought the company a 40.5% increase in total revenue and a 26.5% increase in pre-tax profit. The company was ranked 99th on the list of largest and 76th on the list of most successful companies. You can find more about them and their financial data over the years here.
