"Growing up among the vineyards, winemaking was almost encoded in us," recalls Andrea Gere about her childhood. After finishing high school, she studied economics at the Budapest Business School. However, wine increasingly drew her closer even then: she completed a series of wine knowledge courses at the Wine Academy alongside her studies, and in 2004, she enrolled in the O.I.V. Wine Marketing course at the University of California, Davis. In London, after completing the diploma level at the Wine and Spirits Education Trust school, she earned the International Wine Scholar degree in 2009, which was a significant milestone in her life. Since 2003, she has applied her knowledge at Gere Winery, the family business, where her tasks are very diverse. Since 2014, she has managed the family company as CEO jointly with her father, and in 2023, she and her husband took over from her father.
At the end of 2019, her own premium cosmetic brand, Andrea Gere Skin Care - Grapelove, based on grapes and grapeseed, debuted, which was preceded by three years of development work involving Swiss and local experts.
She also gladly takes part in community work. She is a board member of the Pannon Wine Guild Association and the Villány-Siklós Wine Route Association, a member of Junibor, the Association of Young Winemakers, and the Villány Wine Protection Committee. She regularly participates in the activities of the Villány Marketing Workshop as well.
