History
“From the past to the present, vineyards have been a part of people’s lives in the region.”
In 1898, a wine from the type “Red Misket” made by a local merchant won the first gold medal for white Bulgarian wine at an exhibition in Antwerp, Belgium. The “Renaissance” cooperative established the first wine cellar in Slavyantsi in the 1920s.
The cellars in the villages of Slavyantsi and Sungurlare were formed into independent wine cooperatives, which existed until 1950.
From 1952 to 1995 the company was part of the State Alcohol Monopoly.
In 1995 it was privatized by the workers.
