The RUPEL Gorge is a picturesque gorge of the Struma River between the slopes of Belasitsa Mountain and Sengelska Mountain, connecting Marikostinovo Field in Bulgaria with Serres Field in Greece. Right there, opposite the asymmetrical sloping 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 were grapes and wine here, and later the area became a natural wine center in Bulgaria, from which wine was distributed to Gorna Dzhumaya, Sofia, Greece, Macedonia.
