Proud of Our Macedonian Girl 'Stanušina' – Our Trademark

Proud of Our Macedonian Girl 'Stanušina' – Our Trademark

There are four sections on Kajak.mk that are constantly updated with new stories. The first includes private accommodations, which now number 405, followed by attractions, gastronomic destinations, and recently, we’ve begun filling the "Kajak.mk Grocery Store" with new stands, where you can order online unique products made by Macedonian artisans and producers.

Starting today, "Vinarija Ivanov" has its stand in the Kajak.mk grocery store, where you can purchase their wines with just one click HERE.

We spoke with Ordanče, the person behind the "Ivanov" brand, who shared the story of the winery with us.


Ivanov is a small family winery that produces wine from its own vineyards. It was registered in 2019, but its history dates back 80 years when Ordanče’s grandfather planted the first grapevines. Today, wine production is a family tradition, and Ordanče is the first in his family to professionally pursue viticulture and winemaking.


When asked what makes him most proud of what they have produced so far, Ordanče adds that they are particularly proud of their Temjanika, Kuve Belo, Kuve Crveno, Merlot, and especially their Macedonian gem, "Stanušina"—an indigenous grape variety that is only found in the Tikveš region.

Ordanče says he is in a transitional phase to becoming an organic wine producer and expects to start biodynamic production in a few years, where no pesticides can be used.
