I had a wonderful opportunity to attend wine tastings from different countries at 1616wineboutique, paired with exquisite cheeses, ham, fruits, and thoughtfully selected gastronomic accents. Sommelier Tymofiy spoke about each wine in an easy, accessible, and inspiring way, adding not only knowledge but also atmosphere to every glass. It was very warm, relaxed, with new acquaintances and pleasant memories that stay with me to this day.

My name is Tamara. I had a fantastic experience at a wine tasting on my birthday. The atmosphere was very cozy, with a light and relaxed presentation. We tried five types of wine from Spain, each with its own story and unique aftertaste. I really enjoyed it and found it fascinating to listen to the sommelier leading the event—I noted a lot of new things for myself. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

At Tymofiy’s tastings, the wine speaks, and you just listen and enjoy. I attend regularly—and every time it’s a new discovery, vibrant aromas, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

To choose a good bottle of wine for the evening, you don’t have to become a sommelier, because Tymofiy hosts amazing tastings where you can learn how to pick the right wine on the shelf. I tasted sparkling, red, rosé, and white wines, whereas before I only appreciated dry red. I am very grateful to Tymofiy for these interesting evenings with pleasant company, which opened up the world of wine to me in a new way.

I’ve had the opportunity to attend several wine tastings with sommelier Tymofiy, and each one was uniquely interesting and atmospheric. There is always a warm, cozy, yet refined atmosphere that sets the mood for enjoying wine and socializing. Tymofiy captivates attention from the very first minutes—his stories about wine combine deep knowledge, interesting anecdotes, humor, and genuine love for his craft. He selects wines tailored to the individual tastes of each guest, so even first-timers discover each variety at its best. Every meeting brings new discoveries, pleasant impressions, and a desire to return. I sincerely recommend it to everyone who appreciates quality wine and the expertise of a true sommelier!

I recently attended a tasting, and it was a real revelation for me! The atmosphere was so cozy and friendly that I felt among friends from the very first minutes. Each wine had its own story, told with such love and enthusiasm that I wanted to listen endlessly. I especially liked that the tasting was not just about taste but a whole journey into the world of wine—with notes, aromas, and tips on food pairings. After that evening, I see a glass of wine in a completely new way. It was the perfect balance of knowledge, emotion, and enjoyment!

A wine tasting with Tymofiy combines knowledge with a relaxed atmosphere. His stories about wines were full of interesting details, and the presentation itself was inspired and lively. As an experienced sommelier, he easily opens the world of wine even to beginners, making the process engaging and exciting. His love for his craft and creative energy are felt in every detail. After such a meeting, you want to learn more about wine. It’s not just a tasting, but a small journey into the world of flavors and stories.
