Abstract
Radgonsko-Kapelske gorice was already known as a wine-growing region in the Middle Ages. Vineyards were an important market commodity, and the hills were given a characteristic veduta. The share of vineyards was among the highest in northeastern Slovenia, only in Vzhodne Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice it was higher. A large share of vineyards was also influenced by favorable natural and geographical conditions, especially the suitable local climate, favorable locations and quality soils. The share of vineyards has decreased to date, but unlike other wine-growing regions in northeastern Slovenia (Haloze, Svečinske gorice, Mariborske gorice) significantly less.
