In the City of Deep Lake there is a place where alchemy takes place. In the small workshop and museum located on the most visited street in the city, handmade paper is created from wood, cotton, herbs, coffee … and other various natural materials, according to the knowledge of the people who lived in the 15th century. His father instilled in him a love for this extremely unique skill and art, and in the past 10 years Ljupco Panovski together with his wife and son have deepened it with various innovations based on serious research. SONCHEVA received another inspiring and precious ambassador – we welcome Ljupco.

At the entrance to the site there stands a stone statue in memory of his father, the great poet from the Land of the Sun. But this is just the first sign that you have passed in the village with many mystical stories and apparitions, where the House of Art is located. The philanthropists, artists, animal lovers, eco-activists Sergej and Irena Andreevski live there. The have been committed to a clean environment for already more than 20 years and have opened their home to hundreds of artists from all over the world, who created art during the time they spent there. Many of these works are shown at the Art Point Gumno. That place has become a home, a focal point, a shelter, a place of creation and rest for many artists, who while being there, co-exist in synergy with the rich nature around. Our hearts are full of pride that Sergej and Irena gladly accepted to be the new ambassadors of our Land of The Sun – SONCHEVA.

Truffle hunting with exclusive degustation on the best natural places in The Land of The Sun. We’ve been there, we experienced and for us the hunt for the mysterious and delicious mushrooms is one-of-a-kind adventures! And we love it! In the dense forest, below the fallen yellow autumn leaves at the very roots of the trees, we discovered the truffles that Oscar and Carlo had dug from the ground. These unusual and very unique in taste mushrooms have been the focus of research and discovery for several years by Angel and Vanja Borisovski, who turn the truffle hunt into a real feast on the site. There is so much for everyone’s taste: several kinds of cheese, olives… garnished with walnuts, almonds, dried grapes and dates, honey and on top of that the yummy food: truffles! But the main dish is scrambled eggs with truffles. They do this with a strong passion, and they say: „When going for truffle hunting, there is just one rule that you need to have in mind – respect nature! Everyone needs to take care of the woods, a divine place for truffle hunters” They are new ambassadors in SONCHEVA and we are very proud about that!

We are more than happy to present Pece Klechkaroski as the new Ambassador and producer of the finest food in SONCHEVA – The Land on The Sun.
For 27 years he has been housing them, keeping them, nurturing them, healing them … In each of them he sees the uniqueness and beauty and the paths they have traveled. He respects them equally and dedicates himself to them with great love every day. For the humble biology professor from Negotino, each of the 120 cars and 63 motorcycles are individual characters, each with a unique story and history. Rejected by their owners, Dionis Pashlakov became their new “father”, who created a home – a museum where all these beautiful vehicles will be able to show their value, which more and more people recognize. We are honored that Dionis is the new ambassador of SONCHEVA and his wonderful old-timers are part of our story.
