More reasons to go to Belogradchik: the wine
Sofia Echo, 23.03.2009
Long overlooked as a tourist destination even by its own countrymen, Belogradchik, in the north-western corner of Bulgaria, and nearer the border with Serbia than anything else, is looking to place itself on the radar.
Apart from its current high ranking in the voting process of New 7 Wonders of Nature campaign, where the curious red rock formations at Belogradchik hold the number two spot in the Caves, Rock Formations, Valleys category, the municipality is starting to recognise another potential tourist draw: wine.
In a March 23 2009 article on bgNewsroom.com, the mayor of Belogradchik, Emil Tsankov, said that there were two well-respected wineries on the territory of the municipality, and that both of them had the promise of drawing visitors. Magura Winery, in the village of Rabisha, and Maxxima Cellars, in the village of Borovitsa, had both recently replanted and increased their vineyards sizes to about 100 decares, and like investments were to be continuing, Tsankov said. The two wineries had also revamped their facilities, bringing them up to modern "European" standards, for a better-quality wine.
