The town of Gornja Radgona is famous for its excellent wines, especially for its sparkling wine “Zlata radgonska penina” (Golden sparkling wine of Radgona), which has been produced according to the champagne method for 150 years.    
The excellent quality of the wine from Gornja Radgona can be reported since ancient times as the following story from the year 1648 shows: 17 knights from the area were drinking the good local wine, called “Radgončan” in the time period of 98 days from St. Wenceslas to St. John, where each knight consumed 14 litres of wine a day.
