Completed projects In 2006 the Company successfully implemented an investment project and built a vineyard. It is planted with certified premium material supplied by the famous producers of wines. Among the array of traditional grape varieties such as Bulgaria "Merlot", "Cabernet Sauvignon", "Chardonnay" and elite they have planted international varieties such as "Sauvignon Blanc" "Pinot Noir", "Cabernet Franc" and "Gewurztraminer". In establishing the plantations, as well as in raising them, "Panda Invest" Ltd. utilize all new modern trends in viticulture

With Bulgaria joining the European Union in 2007 the company applied for national programs to support the wine – in 2008 the wine sector was approved under the measure "Restructuring and conversion of vineyards." So "Panda Invest" Ltd. has expanded its vineyard array, adding more high-quality varieties of plants including "Sauvignon Blanc", "Chardonnay", "Cabernet Sauvignon" and "Gewurtztraminer". One of the ideas for the development of the project after planting the vineyard is to create conditions for permanent employment of the population in this region.
