The winemaker, János Bolyki, started working with grapes in 1998, after graduating from the leather department of the Light Industry College. He is a first-generation winemaker in Eger, although his parents always cultivated grapes in their backyard, but primarily as a supplement to his salary by selling the produce. He founded the estate by planting the land he received back from compensation. In 1998, he planted 11 hectares of grapes as a first step on Öreghegy. As a newly graduated light industry engineer, he calculated quite well, calculating that he would snowboard in France from the end of October until the harvest, from the income made from the 1,500 grapes grown in the area. When the area became productive in 2002, new plantings and winemaking took place, so snowboarding took a back seat, but today's 27-hectare Bolyki estate was formed. János is married with 5 children, lives on a ranch type estate and still throws raging parties on the grounds of his modern built winery. He is known for being as charismatic as the designs on his wine labels.
