From Living with My Grandparents by the Vineyard to Owning My Own Winery
When things are done with love, tourism develops more easily. And when things are learned from a young age, we know how to appreciate them when we grow up.
Macedonia is a country where wine tourism has enormous potential. We often ask ourselves whether we are even aware of the potential we have, given that positive reviews about Macedonian wine come from all directions.
When wine is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tikvesh region. A region that, in itself, carries many stories about the people who, throughout history, have invested everything to produce quality fruit. Many children who, in the past, worked from dusk till dawn in the vineyards are now owners of their own wineries. They have invested all their knowledge to build their own brand, telling their family story to many tourists.
The region from which Aleksandar comes, specifically the village of Resava in the Tikvesh region, is considered to produce the highest quality grapes and wine. He adds that even during the Ottoman rule, his family was known as one of the largest producers of grapes, which can be seen by the high tax on the wine must that his ancestors paid to the sultan.
Today, the main reason for Aleksandar's success is his grandfather Chando, who motivated his grandson to fall in love with the vine and the production of wine and rakija.
With the wine tasting, they serve various types of prosciutto, cheeses, and smoked cheeses, as well as the traditional Kavadarci gevrek with ajvar. The tasting also includes the old yellow rakija 'Klincharovka.'
Aleksandar says that the tradition, the preservation of the ethno style, and the story that is 100 years old and has passed through four generations make them different from the others.
