Sector of activity:


For me the EYE programme was a very good opportunity, formative from any point of view, as much in exchange of knowledge as in terms of human relations. I have also quite improved in English, a real advantage for me. It is certain that our relations will not stop with the end of my EYE stay.

Duration of exchange: 2 months



Flavien Nowack is a passionate young winegrower who is going to take over his10-hectare-family vineyard in Champagne and would like to add to a white wine called "Blanc de noirs” at their Champagne range. László Hernyák is a fervent experienced winegrower and winemaker. He set up his own family enterprise in 1993. His love for the job led to the founding of a local wine road organization and a local organization of origin control (Etyek Codex). Concerning Flavien, his participation in the EYE programme was a unique opportunity not only to benefit from the competences and skills directly transferred by an experienced winegrower, but also to experience a professional mobility abroad and thus to gain the adaptability required by the job nowadays in full upheaval. For László the EYE programme gave him the opportunity to share his passion and exchange practices as well as develop a ground for further cooperation.

Flavien participated in the harvest, both in vineyard and in the cellar, and in various other tasks as pruning. He also got involved in the activities linked with wine tourism and gastronomy, which was a new experience for him. He accompanied his Host to the promoting of the Hungarian winegrowing and participated in exceptional tasting events.

Flavien improved both in practice and theory as well as in tasting, promotioning, sharing working methods and techniques as well with his host’s son – Tamas Hernyák, previously EYE New Entrepreneur in France.
