Cradle of Flavours - Wine and Dine event at Minoa Qawra

Vines & Tides: An Italian Wine & Dine Evening at Minoa

Where Italian inspired dining meets the rhythm of the Mediterranean, Vines & Tides arrives at Minoa on Wednesday 23 September 2026.

Set on Level 11 of AX ODYCY, this edition of Minoa’s Wine & Dine series will bring together six courses, Masi wine pairings and an evening designed to move from the first pour on the terrace to the final course at the table.

Created in collaboration with Masi and Attard & Co, Vines & Tides places the relationship between plate and pour at the heart of the experience.

A Menu Created for the Evening

At the heart of Vines & Tides will be a six course menu by Chef Nikolai Abela , bringing an Italian inspired approach to the table through expressive flavours, refined presentation and a natural progression from course to course.

The menu will move from delicate opening dishes through handmade pasta, fish and beef before arriving at a dark chocolate crémeux for dessert. Each course will be accompanied by a Masi wine selected to complement the progression of the dinner.

A dedicated six course vegetarian menu will also be available, giving vegetarian guests a complete Wine & Dine journey of their own, with the same wine pairing structure through to dessert.

From the First Pour

The evening will begin at 20:00 on the Minoa terrace, where guests will be welcomed with a drink and canapés as the Mediterranean sets the scene.

Dinner will follow from 20:30, unfolding course by course and glass by glass. From the opening pairing through to petit fours and coffee, each element will form part of one continuous dining experience.

The Wines Behind Vines & Tides

Wine will be woven into the evening rather than simply served alongside it, with Masi selections paired throughout the six course menu.

Presented in collaboration with Masi and Attard & Co, the event will also welcome Eugenia Corradi from Masi Agricola, adding a direct connection to the winery behind the wines featured during the dinner.

An Evening Shaped by Plate, Pour and Place

Vines & Tides is designed as more than a dinner. It is an evening shaped by the meeting of Italian inspired cuisine, wine and the Mediterranean setting of Minoa.

From the welcome on the terrace to the final pairing, guests will be invited to slow down, discover each course and enjoy the experience as it unfolds.
