About Wines of

Central and Eastern Europe

I'm Tomasz Kierul, founder of Wines of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Wines and a lifelong connector of people, stories, and places—often over a glass of something memorable.

Born in Poland and now based in Boston, I've spent over two decades working in leadership and fundraising across the nonprofit and Catholic sectors. But alongside that work has always been a deep love for culture, community, and discovering beauty in unexpected places. Wine, for me, is one of the most meaningful ways to do that.

CEE Wines is my way of sharing the incredible winemaking renaissance happening in Central and Eastern Europe—especially in Poland—with travelers who are curious, thoughtful, and eager to go beyond the usual maps. I’m passionate about the people behind the bottles, the land that shapes them, and the history that runs deep through both.

I believe the best travel experiences are rooted in real connection, good storytelling, and generous hospitality. That’s what I try to offer every time I lead a trip. Whether it’s a vineyard tour, a shared dinner, or a quiet moment overlooking a river, I want guests to walk away with more than just great wine—I want them to feel part of something lasting.
