The RUPEL Gorge is a picturesque gorge of the Struma River between the slopes of the Belasitsa and Sengelska mountains, connecting the Marikostinovo Field in Bulgaria with the Serres Field in Greece. Precisely there, opposite the asymmetrical gently sloping and steep valley slopes of the gorge, which form a main air corridor for the warm Aegean currents, is located the RUPEL Winery with its own vineyards.
The location is the village of Dolno Spanchevo, situated to the east of the town of Petrich. With the ancient name "Spancha", this settlement still carries the spirit of the peoples who inhabited it – Thracians, Macedonians, Romans, Slavs, Spanish Crusaders. For centuries there have been grapes and wine here, and later the area developed into a natural wine center in Bulgaria, from which wine was distributed to Gorna Dzhumaya, Sofia, Greece, Macedonia. The markets in Drama, Berovo, Pehchevo, Thessaloniki, Serres, Demir Hisar, and many others were supplied.
