What is "Vyn'iotinis"?
"Vyn'iotinis" was born out of a love for wine, its subtleties and the extraordinary experiences that a properly selected glass can provide. We believe that wine is not only a drink, but also an emotion, a community, a culture. Therefore, "Vyn'iotinis" invites you not only to taste, but also to discover - whether it be individually tailored recommendations, private tastings, or the search for new wine and food combinations.
The key here is not complicated rules or strict dogmas, but the joy of discovery. Whether you are an experienced wine enthusiast or just starting this journey, Vyn'iotinis will help you find what is right for you.

Your personal sommelier
Hello wine lovers, I am Justė Karbauskaitė, a professional sommelier with over 14 years of experience in the world of wine. I have accumulated a lot of experience: from wine tastings, creating wine lists to managing restaurants.
My career began in Vilnius, but I soon moved to London to further my knowledge, where I worked in several wine bars/restaurants, and also completed my Wset 4 diploma.
Wine culture is only growing in Lithuania, so I want to share my knowledge and experience through tastings, personal consultations, and more!

" We hired Justė to create the wine list for our new restaurant Magpie in Singapore, and I highly recommend her services. She selected the suppliers, the wine, and even advised on the wine glasses. Justė listened to what I liked and what dishes were on our menu, and used her extensive knowledge not only of wine, but also of the wine industry, to create a list that perfectly suited the needs of our restaurant."The fact that she was able to do this remotely is a testament to her deep understanding of the market and her efforts to ensure that the wine list is a perfect fit for the restaurant."

" We have been working with Juste for over three years and we admire her professionalism. She is passionate about what she does, which is a real gift and it is always a pleasure to see her working with people. Juste has an excellent knowledge and understanding of wine, and her openness to learning more and discovering new wines makes her one of the pioneers of the London wine scene. "
“ I have had the opportunity to work with Juste personally and professionally for the past five years. During that time, I have watched her create and lead two innovative and playful wine programs in two top-quality restaurants, while creating a welcoming and engaging environment for her team and guests.
"Justė brings much more than just knowledge to her position and to the entire wine industry; she brings vitality and energy to what she does, and I encourage everyone to work with her. "
