A 30’ guide to Greek Wines with Pavlos Trilirakis DipWSET Tutor of WSPC Wine School

Pavlos Trilyrakis was born and raised in Thessaloniki/ North Greece, where he still lives and works. In 1994 he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Over the last 25 years he has been working in the construction sector as a civil engineer and co-owner of the family-owned construction company TRILYRAKIS S.A. When a small family vineyard came into his care, some years ago, his interest in wine grew even bigger.
His need for a deeper exploration of the wine world led him to WSPC, where he has successfully completed all levels of Education and Qualifications, becoming a WSET Diploma graduate. Having obtained his highly acclaimed title, he is now professionally involved in the wine industry – importing wines mainly from the New World, while, at the same time provides consulting services.
His love and excellence regarding wine and education contributed to his new professional role and a new business collaboration, as a Junior Lecturer at the Wine & Spirits Professional Center (WSPC).

Organised by: Wine Plus
We are delighted to invite you to participate in an original event, the Christmas Wine Plus Bazaar 2023, which will take place in the framework of the parallel events of the 20th Map of Flavours.

In 2009, we took the initiative to organize the first Greek Wine Bazzar in the form of a wine "auction". An original event for Greece that received a significant response and which we repeated the following year.

This year we are back again, and as part of the parallel events of the 20th Map of Flavours, we are organizing the Christmas Wine Plus Bazaar 2023.

So, the winemakers participating in the Map of Flavours are offering special packages of their fine wines at special prices.
The revenues from their sale will be donated to the causes of the Greek Children's Village in Filiros.

The auction will be coordinated by chemist, oenologist and author Maria Tzitzi.
