About Maenade

My name is Liliya, and for nearly eighteen years, I have dedicated my career to creating memorable and meaningful guest experiences in hospitality. My passion for wine began as a professional pursuit and soon evolved into a personal journey of continuous learning.

I hold the WSET Level 3 in Wines (Pass with Merit) and Italian Wine Scholar (Pass with Honors) Certifications. I’m currently enrolled in French Wine Scholar program at WSG. Through Maenade I share tasting notes, wine education, regional insights, and the stories that make wine such a fascinating subject.

This site is not simply a collection of reviews. It is a journal of discovery–a place where tasting notes, travel, history, and personal experience come together. My hope is that Maenade encourages you to explore new wines, ask questions, and find joy in the stories that make every bottle unique.

Welcome to MAENADE!

Sánte, Liliya!
