Cradle of Flavours: Another Sold-Out Wine & Dine Evening at Minoa
A full house of diners gathered above the Qawra skyline as Minoa Mediterranean Fusion Restaurant at Level 11 of AX ODYCY Hotel hosted Cradle of Flavours, the first Wine & Dine experience of the year.
Hosted in collaboration with Attard & Co. and the renowned Château Kefraya, Cradle of Flavours was designed for those who appreciate thoughtful gastronomy, elegant wines, and the pleasure of dining well. The event proved hugely popular, selling out weeks in advance and welcoming guests eager to experience an evening where refined Mediterranean flavours met world-class wines in a truly stunning setting.A Six-Course Experience, Perfectly Paired
Priced at €75 per person, the adults-only evening featured a meticulously curated six-course tasting menu, with a dedicated wine pairing for each dish. Guests were welcomed with a welcome drink and canapés, followed by an immersive dining experience that unfolded course by course, glass by glass. Flowing water and hot beverages ensured a relaxed and indulgent evening from start to finish.
Each pairing was carefully selected to complement the flavours on the plate, showcasing Château Kefraya’s expressive wines alongside Minoa’s modern Mediterranean cuisine. The combination delivered beautifully on the night, with many guests responding enthusiastically to the thoughtful pairings and refined presentation.
A Word from the Kitchen
Our resident chef Zohair Aljatlawi reflected on the success of Cradle of Flavours:
“Wine & Dine evenings allow us to tell a deeper story through food. Each course was designed to interact with the wine it was paired with, enhancing flavours, textures, and emotions. This menu was a celebration of Mediterranean heritage with a contemporary twist, and it was incredibly rewarding to see how quickly the event sold out and, more importantly, how deeply guests enjoyed the taste pairings and overall dining experience on the night.”
Crafted with Passion, From the Very Beginning
For Valentina Cassar, Events Manager at Minoa, Cradle of Flavours once again demonstrated the magic of these evenings:
“We’ve been organising Wine & Dine events at Minoa since the very start, and each one feels just as special as the first. They bring together great partners, incredible food, and guests who truly appreciate the experience. The response to this February edition was fantastic, and we’re already looking forward to creating more evenings like this for our diners.”
