Presentation:
Pavlos Trilyrakis 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).

Wine tasting of Coumandarias participating in the Map of Flavours 2024.

Millennial sweet wine from two indigenous varieties, Mavro and Xynisteri, has traced an unprecedented historical path. A prime example of a wine that carries the terroir of 14 villages and their people, Koumandaria is the ultimate expression of Cypriot winemaking.

In 1224, at the International Wine Competition 'La Bataille des Vins', held under the high patronage of King Philip of France, Coumandaria won first prize. As this year marks the 800th anniversary of this great event, 2024 has been proclaimed the 'Year of Gastronomy and Cumbria'.
