AGI FRITSCH
Vinera Wine Society Representative - Executive Level & Your Personal Wine Tour Guide

For the past 20 years, wine and travel have been my passion and way of life. I have been proud to represent Schlossadler Wines for a long time. This journey has resulted in strong relationships with winemakers and co-workers. Most importantly, however, this voyage has allowed me to achieve my ultimate goal of sharing my passion for wine with my clients. My job gives me the opportunity to travel to search for new wines, regions, and grapes. Sharing those discoveries and making you fall in love with our wines is Schlossadler’s main focus and now I am so thrilled to be part of our new adventure – and have an opportunity to invite you to share in this once in a lifetime experience. Travel with Schlossadler Wines! We will discover the old and new world of wine while creating memories and long-lasting friendships. We are going to taste wines, see new places, eat new cuisines and I will be there with you creating an adventure of a lifetime just for you!

LIZA SMITH
Vinera Wine Society Representative - Executive Level & Your Personal Wine Tour Guide

Having been with Schlossadler since 2002, my passion to match people with wine has been deeply rewarding. I’ve always loved wine, traveling and people and my position with Schlossadler has provided the opportunity to experience them all. My interest in European wines began with my first trip to Europe many years ago where I discovered nuances in wine and what made each one unique. Since then, I’ve traveled abroad several more times to keep “refreshing” my palate and knowledge of European wines.

Join me in bringing together two of life’s greatest experiences – travel and wine!

Now I can enjoy my traveling and wine together. And I invite you to come along for the experience of a lifetime. Meet the winemakers of the wines you enjoy from Schlossadler. See and experience their lives. Drink the wines you love so much on the land they came from. Let’s go to Europe together!

EMA BASKOVIC
Vinera Wine Society Representative - Executive Level & Your Personal Wine Tour Guide

The best advice that I ever got was ”Just go” and so I did. I started my traveling seven years ago and the road took me all over the world, for a little while I found peace in Italy, Spain, Turkey, Serbia, and Montenegro but in the end, the road called again. The biggest change was when I decided to cross the Ocean and little did I know that my place under the sun will be, to travel again. Working with Schlossadler I realized that traveling is more than just packing a suitcase, buying a ticket, and sending postcards, now I travel with every sip of wine. Sometimes I travel back in time, sometimes in the future and there are times when I just sit back and watch the day pass me by. And yes, there are still places and faces that I wish to see and discover and how lucky would I be if you would join me on this journey of Gipsy hearts in a search of the truth that lies only in wine.
