OUR FAMILY STORY

From Slovakia to Aargau. A dream that took root.

Boris, Beáta, Barbora and Benjamin
BORIS · BEÁTA · BARBORA · BENJAMIN

We come from Slovakia’s Little Carpathian wine region. Boris studied at a winemaking school and later served as a police officer. Beáta worked as a customs officer and built a cleaning company with fifteen employees before starting EchtRein.ch in Switzerland. Together with Barbora and Benjamin, we began again in Aargau and turned our bond with vineyards into a living gift for people around the world.

“We could not bring our old home with us. So, together, we planted new roots.”
