Ivaylo Katerski
Wine expert

My interest in wine lasts for more many years. I regularly visit wine fairs, courses, tastings and other wine events in Bulgaria. Therefore, I can definitely say that I am very well familiar with the “wine map” of Bulgaria and my knowledge is up-to-date, also, I really like travelling. I am a WSET® CERTIFIED Level 2 Wines & Spirits (passed with distinction) by the London Wine & Spirit School, also a certified tour guide and a member of The Association of Bulgarian tour guides. Wine is my passion, my hobby, my interest but not my profession – and this is on purpose so. The profession may invisibly turn itself into routine and routine kills passion. I’m determined not to lose the pure pleasure of drinking and enjoying wine and sharing it with you!
