Vardar Region Essentials

The Vardar Statistical Region serves as North Macedonia's viticultural center and a repository of Roman history. It features the extensive ruins of Stobi, the former capital of Macedonia Secunda, and the Tikveš wine district, home to established producers like Bovin and Popova Kula. The landscape is defined by the Vardar River valley, punctuated by medieval fortifications like Markovo Kale and the recreational waters of Lake Mladost.
