The geographical area, in which it is located - the Upper Thracian Plain, is fertile and enables the inhabitants to cultivate many crops. Near Vinitsa village, an endangered species of swamp snowdrop can be found. Along with Gradina village, this is one of the few places that the endangered plant can be found in Southern Bulgaria. In 1903, the village was renamed from Badarlii to Vinitsa.[3]
