A chain of wine shops that offer spirits and delicacies in addition to wines; the first wine shop was founded in 1993 in the centre of Prague in the legendary Lucerna mall. Cellarius is currently the oldest wine shop still open in Prague. Other Cellarius shops were later opened in Karlín and Černošice near Prague, followed by Let’s Wine in Lety near Dobřichovice. More openings continue.
Here you can buy domestic and international wines, enjoy a tasting, discover carefully selected new brands, sit with friends and take in the relaxing atmosphere.
Wines that are prepared in harmony with nature and in the highest quality, which the Dobrá Vinice team guarantees with all its heart and well-groomed hands.
Dobrá Vinice is proud to be one of the pioneers of natural viticulture in the Czech Republic. It was with this idea in mind that the winery was founded in 1992, and it has been operating in organic mode since then. Its 16 hectares of vineyards in Podyjí National Park produce the best wines with the best knowledge and conscience and in harmony with nature. The quality itself is evidenced by the number of awards it has received. The vines and grapes are both worked by hand. No chemicals are used, nor will you find any in the vineyards or wines. What you will find here are oak barrels containing wines stored in their own yeast for several months, as well as Georgian qvevri vessels used to produce wines with technology that goes back 8,000 years.
Dobrá Vinice exports wines all over the world, exclusively to selected restaurants. One of the places in Prague where you can taste the wines of Dobrá Vinice is the Michelin- starred Field restaurant.
Annual production is around 55,000 bottles a year. The vineyards recently purchased and renovated by Dobrá Vinice will increase their production to around 90,000 bottles in 2026. This process cannot be accelerated due to the necessary reclamation of the vineyards and insistence on observing absolute quality. The first wine from the new vineyard will therefore not enter production for another four years or so.
Modern Czech viticulture that continues the tradition of growing and producing wine, still in the same place where it was founded by King Charles IV in the 14th century; the vineyard is located in the Central Bohemian Hills at the foot of Blšanský Chlum. The area is a natural monument renowned for its microclimate and especially for volcanic soil rich in minerals that give the wines their specific flavour. In addition, the vineyard is located on the southeast side, which is the best for growing vines. Its wines are created with minimal intervention and no unnecessary additives. They also reflect the care of the winery team, who believe every vine deserves the best care, every grape the most gentle treatment, every WILOMENNA wine the highest attention.
The main domain of the winery are its uniquely dry volcanic wines and the world- renown line of Wilomenna sparkling wines, but the still wines and label designs of the winery have been similarly honoured.
Today, WILOMENNA farms on 10 hectares of vineyards and its annual production is approximately 40,000 bottles per year.
A project is currently underway to reconstruct the winery, expand production to 120,000 bottles per year, and acquire another 15 to 20 hectares of vineyards.

The Group currently operates in nine sectors, including lighting and energy, telecommunications and technology, e-commerce, accounting and tax services and viticulture, among the most important.
The aim of each sector is to establish a comprehensive chain of companies, from production to sales.

Our strategy stands on three pillars that lead to the establishment of comprehensive supply chains and a diversified portfolio of companies.
The First Pillar of the strategy is to seek out and enter companies in need of restructuring and significant changes to their operation that also have a product or a service that is competitive and has potential for further development.
The Second Pillar involves building companies from the ground up in sectors we already know and know how to do business in.
The Third Pillar of the strategy is the acquisition of companies that may be functioning well, but have the potential for great growth or global reach by joining the group and utilising our synergies to their fullest.
Our values include diligence, logic, simplicity, ethics, cooperation and efficiency. We believe that good results only come with hard work.
Although we are growing into a large international investment group, we maximise the streamlining of our management and operational model to be dynamic and efficient.
We make sure that the people who have the greatest say in the company are those in direct contact with the customer.
Cooperation and synergies within teams and between our companies are the fundamental building blocks of the success of FWG Atlantiso.
Changing the world is not our primary aim. We want to do what we believe in and be the best at it. Changing the world for the better will come with this intention.
The FWG Atlantiso Group fulfils the vision of building a strong international group of companies whose business is primarily based on quality products and services, on the value of cooperation and responsibility, long-term sustainability and generating profit.
Companies within the FWG Atlantiso Group have their own identity and autonomy, especially in business and targeting their products and services. Moreover, we emphasise the utilisation of synergies within the Group, both in purchasing, IT, administration, finance, facilities and management, and in the use of the Group ecosystem.
FWG Atlantiso was founded in 2014 under the FWG brand. From 2014 to 2018, the Group primarily operated in the sector of interim management, strategic operation and executive company management, corporate restructuring, and provision of IT integrations and IT support. This period was extremely important for the Group, as we gained a lot of experience from various business sectors and situations during the life cycles of companies. The Group learned to do business and effectively manage companies across industries, assess risks and utilise business opportunities. In 2019, we started building our own portfolio of companies as a strategic investor.
The aim of FWG Atlantiso is to reach a value of 200 million EUR by 2026.
To acquire companies for our existing sectors so that we own the entire business chain from production to sales and delivery to the customer in each sector.

He always looks at every situation from many angles and he relies on both logical thinking and his intuition. He considers all possible variants and works on several solutions in parallel before deciding which of them is best. He always has a plan at hand that never changes, but which he is able to adapt dynamically to the prevailing circumstances.
He devotes all the free time he has left from building FWG atlantiso to his family.
