A New Chapter for Wine Production in Demir Kapija
A New Chapter for Wine Production in Demir Kapija
At Kajak.mk, we welcome everyone who feels connected to
tourism in Macedonia. We always emphasize that increased local involvement in
domestic tourism leads to more dynamic development.
Our database of local heroes who contribute significantly to
the development of tourism includes Zoran Stojanov from Demir Kapija. From a
young age, Zoran dreamed of being involved in wine production, and this year,
that dream has become a reality with the official recognition of his winery.
Zoran was born in Demir Kapija. His initial exposure to
winemaking came from visiting the local winery, where he frequently expressed
his desire to work. After graduating from university, he secured his first job
at that same winery, where he gained valuable experience in the wine production
process.
One of the reasons he began producing wine was due to the
marketing challenges faced by wine grape growers in Macedonia back in 2001. In
early 2004, he acquired stainless steel tanks and equipment for wine
production. Later that same year, he created his first wine from the Rhein
Riesling variety, producing approximately 600 liters.
Over the years, Zoran expanded his production by introducing
red wine made from the Vranec variety. In 2023, he decided to formalize this
family venture and register it as a small family winery. In April 2024, he
officially received the registration decision for his winery, which is called
'Winery Canyon.'
The Canyon family winery proudly produces wine from Vranec,
Rhein Riesling, and Chardonnay grape varieties, as well as a blend of Rhein
Riesling and Vranec. The grapes are sourced from their own vineyards, and the
winery has a production capacity of up to 2,800 liters of wine, with plans for
future expansion.
The Canyon winery is named after the scenic gorge of the
Vardar River, a well-known symbol of Demir Kapija. The design of the bottle
labels evokes the striking entrance to the canyon.
The team at Kajak.mk is excited to share stories about new
small family wineries. If you would like to order wine from Winery Canyon,
