The case study of an enterprising wine-grower brings an analysis of conditions for and development of viticulture at Dolné Oresany, a village located in a marginal but specific part of the Little-Carpathian wine-growing region in Slovakia. It describes economic and social situation of local wine-growers in the 1930s as an impulse for business activities of local people to buy, make and sell wine. A personal history of this entrepreneur serves for the writer as a background against which she describes the economic and political development of an individual person, as well as the locality and the whole country, which influenced his commercial growth and decline. The article also explains how a change of the political system may harm, even destroy successful and creative people who several decades ago managed to realise projects which are now on the agenda of the village tourism industry.
