RUPEL Gorge is a picturesque gorge of the Struma River between the slopes of Belasitsa Mountain and Sengelska Mountain, connecting Marikostino Field in Bulgaria with Serres Field in Greece. Precisely there, opposite the asymmetrical gentle and steep valley slopes of the gorge, forming a main air corridor for the warm Aegean currents, is the RUPEL winery with its own vineyards.
The location is the village of Dolno Spanchevo, situated 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 region became 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.
