Menada winery
The oldest archaeological evidence of wine production comes from the Caucasus region and dates from 7000-6000 BC. In the territory of Bulgaria, wine production began about 5000 years ago. The first vines were transported from the Middle East. Among the most venerated pagan deities is the god of wine, Dionysus. The Menadas are characters from ancient Greek mythology - companions of Dionysus.
