Casavino

What Casavino does

Casavino is a Bulgarian specialty retailer of wines and premium spirits, founded in 2008 and operating as a private Bulgarian LLC. The company runs 10 physical stores — 8 in Sofia and 2 in Varna — supplemented by a Magento-based e-commerce platform and a Click&Collect service that links online orders to the physical footprint. Its catalog spans 1,400+ wine varieties and 300+ high-alcohol beverages, indicating a multi-supplier, curated assortment model rather than a single-producer or private-label strategy.

The business operates a hybrid retail-and-community model. Beyond transactional sales, Casavino runs a wine school, hosts recurring tasting events (including an ongoing multi-edition Champagne tasting series), and maintains a loyalty program. These activities generate incremental engagement and education-driven demand that pure SKU retailers cannot easily replicate. The customer base is B2C, serving individual Bulgarian consumers across both walk-in and online channels.

The company employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors. Technology footprint is a standard Magento commerce stack with no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary data assets, or differentiated platform architecture beyond omnichannel integration. The go-to-market is local-specialty: physical-store-led discovery supplemented by digital reach, with a community/education layer used to deepen repeat visitation rather than aggressive pricing or discount competition.
