FAMILY FARM<\/h3>\n

The history of the Gere Attila Winery started seven generations ago. Our ancestors have passed on their skills and attitude from one generation to the next, and the business, just like before, is run by all members of the family. Beyond the estate grown grapes the family has long been purchasing grapes from other farmers to produce their entry level wines. Local farmers also feel this family vibe and the mutual trust.<\/p>\n

\u201eI\u2019m still the same villager I have always been, I\u2019m still living here among my fellow countrymen. People know that. They are simple, honest folks and if they have grapes to sell they can rely on me to buy it. I\u2019m good as my word. We value their efforts, it\u2019s important to me that they love working in the vineyards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

ONE PROPOSAL, TWO LOVES<\/h5>\n

Not many people know that for a long time Attila Gere did not drink any wine because he had always been very demanding when it came to consistent quality and his expectations were not met. He can still recall the moment that eventually sealed his fate.<\/p>\n

\u201eI used to be a beer drinker because like many others whenever I tasted some wine it was always tasted foul. In 1977 when I was dating my wife-to-be, Katalin, and my future father-in-law poured me a glass of wine in their cellar. I gritted my teeth, thinking I\u2019ll survive somehow. When I smelled the wine I was struck by the gorgeous fragrance. Then I tasted it and whispered \u201eGood heavens\u201d. I was thinking to myself that the locals had no idea what riches they possess. This is pure gold. If I liked it as a beer drinker then wine lovers would surely be amazed by it! The next year we got married. And ever since, for 42 years now, we\u2019ve been happily married.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1602688468841{margin-bottom: 55px !important;}”]
