Vinos + Tapas is your host for A Gourmet Evening in Greece and the restaurant has very generously agreed to not put any mark-up on the wines, making this an evening of extraordinary values. Our guest executive chef for the evening is Sylvia Stamakis.
The dinner will be held on Thursday, January 18. Start time is 7:00 pm. Vinos + Tapas is located at Insurgentes #63 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The price for the five course dinner with accompanying wines is 950 pesos per person.
Reservation requests should be made by email to dondayinsma@yahoo.com. Your reservation will be confirmed by return email or regrets will be sent to you if the event is already sold out (every wine-pairing dinner has so far).

Do you know when and where the March wine pairing dinner will be? Many thanks, Patricia Shaughnessy
Not quite yet but I should know in two or three weeks.
Wondering if the co0oking is done by Sylvia–n9ot a famous Vinois y…
Yes, Sylvia will be doing all of the cooking. Stefania, Vinos + Tapas chef, will be stepping out of the kitchen and putting on her sommelier hat.
Greek wine is really starting to earn a positive reputation across the world. Greece wineries are even becoming a destination for wine lovers. It’s great to see Greece earn this notoriety.
