Danubian Plains is a wine region covering a large Part of northern Bulgaria. It is one of just two PGI wine designations in the country permitted by the EU for export to Union members. The other is Thracian Lowlands.
The two PGIs were introduced in 2007 as Bulgaria became a member of the EU.

A varied selection of Grape varieties are cultivated acroos the Danubian Plains region, for still and Sparkling wines.
The native red grape varieties Pamid and Gamza (Kadarka) are widely planted, along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The principal white varieties include Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Ottonel and Traminer. The latter might mean Savagnin Blanc or its Aromatic pink-berried version, Gewürztraminer.
The PGI zone covers the Central part of the Danube plain on the southern bank of the river.
