      A delightful taste of Gozo (and Malta)
      The Maltese Islands are not necessarily known to the international world ... also not for their wines (although - as we learned - the wines have won international prizes not only once). I was looking for an authentic wine tasting of local wines, preferably not in one winery, but to get to know a range of the Maltese and Gozian wines. Having it paired with dinner - even better! Everything was well organized and presented - table set-up in a separate room above the restaurant (social distancing was respected, as well as health and hygiene protocols) ; glasses, appetizers and local bread varieties, even hand-sanitizer were prepared for each party of participants. It was a delightful evening of truly enjoyable company - learning about the wines and winegrowers, interacting with questions, listening to personal stories of both - host(s) and participants! The wines were carefully selected and professionally presented; the food was unbelievable and the presentation done with humor and surprise-effects - simply superb(!); the atmosphere was relaxed at any time. All good things had to end at some point and even here, attention to detail was given ... George brought those of us who had to catch the ferry back to the main island, to the ferry. I will be back to Gozo and to the Maldonado Bistro! Thank you for having made a "local wine tasting and dinner" such a memorable and extraordinary experience!

      Fabulous wine tasting evening at Maldonado Restaurant
      The owner George was great with his communication via email as soon as I booked the wine tasting evening. There were 16 people on the night and it was in a separate room above the restaurant with an open kitchen where we could see the chef preparing the food that was paired with the wines. We tried 3 white and 3 red wines and a dessert wine. The wines varied in price per bottle from €13 to €52 so it was great to taste wines of varying cost. George was very knowledgeable about the wines and kept us entertained and informed throughout the evening as we ate a delicious meal whilst wine tasting. We'd highly recommend it! Thank you George and your wonderful team for a great night.

      Great night's Entertainment Food and Wine
      Hospitable and welcoming, our hosts, the restaurant's owner and chef served up a wealth of interesting facts about food and wine. We saw the chef prepare our dishes as we all sat around a beautifully set dining table in an ancient stone dining room. They do care about Maltese wine and food and this shows throughout the evening.

      Fantastic way to spend an evening!
      What a great evening! We started with a wonderful tour of Victoria with our fantastic guide who pointed out some of the wonderful architecture and history of the island culminating in a glorious sunset view from the top of the citadel. We th see en headed for a luxuriously lazy five course meal prepared in full view by Graham - fabulous chef from San Fran who cooked us an all-vegetarian smorgasbord of traditional Maltese food using locally sourced and artisan produced goods. He accommodated vegans and Coeliacs in our group with no issues. The evening was led by George who explored some local Maltese wines - we sampled 8 in all - 3 whites/3 reds a rose and a Maltese “port”. There were seconds going around and no one left hungry or thirsty! To top it all off George made sure we all got home safely - personally bringing those of us who missed the last bus straight to our doors! If you love history, food, wine and a great company - just book it!

      A Memorable Evening in Gozo
      We had a lovely evening, starting with an informative and interesting walk, followed by great wine, delicious food and fabulous company. This was truly had a memorial evening. It was not only a great way to learn a lot about a lovely island, but it was topped off by an evening of wonderful food and wine pairing. If you are in Gozo, this is a must do!

      Amazing experience - one to remember!
      George and the team at Maldonado not only provide amazing food but delicious, local wines. They are very accommodating and love sharing their knowledge of the local wine regions. The restaurant is beautiful and provides a wonderful experience. Can not recommend this highly enough, we had a great time!

      We had a wonderful evening with delicious food and really good wine (and a lot of it! :) ) George is a great host and has created an amazing experience for his guests. If you only have one evening in Gozo, this is the place to go!!

      Great evening with great wine and delicious food
      My wife and I went to this tasting at the recommendation of our hotel and are we glad we did! The evening takes place in a room above the restaurant with an open kitchen. In here, the owner of the restaurant shares his experiences with you and tells you about the wines he selected for the evening. In total we tasted 3 white wines, 1 rose wine, 3 red wines and a fortified port dessert wine. For a very reasonable price you get all these wines, delicious food to pair it with and a nice evening meeting new people. Cannot recommend this highly enough!

      Great experience for those interested in trying out Maltese wines
      George, the owner, was very knowledgeable about Maltese wines and had picked a diverse selection accompanied with interesting background stories to go with each pick. You'll learn a lot and have a ton of fun!

      Wine tasting with an insight on the Island of Gozo
      My wife and I had a great evening. We learned a lot of things about wine, Gozo and local culture, some of which we had no clue about ( and we live on the island!), tasted some really delicious wine paired with very appetising food and enjoyed the nice atmosphere of a relaxing night out in the company of interesting people.

      Outstanding
      Organised by George of Maldonado's, our walking tour was very informative and "to the point", showing us historically significant features in the small streets of Gozo's capital Victoria. Following that we enjoyed a lovely evening wine tasting with food which complimented the wines very well at Maldonado Bistro - all local Maltese and predominantly Gozitan wines, well selected by George. Thank you for a lovely evening with our guests - we will be back!

      Gozo: history, wine and food
      If you are into any of these subjects, this tour is great fun! Malta produces a lot of great wines, still rather undiscovered by the foreign public. The reason is obvious: the islands are small and the amount of wine produced is not enough to bring overseas. And if it's such a great product, why nog drink it all? In this tour you will discover some great wines, combined with fine food. If you are interested in the islands rich history, you should definately try the walking tour as well. It takes you through the smallest streets of Victoria and into the citadel, while the stories just keep coming. Starting from the early days of the Roman empire, passing through middle ages and later on some world war two history, it was all happening on Malta and Gozo. The guide is an English speaking history-teacher, so great stories garuanteed.

    We had a great experience at Maldonado Bistro with George. The class included the four of us (2 couples) and 7 other people. It was a friendly, fun, energetic group and George is a wonderful host and teacher. The experience included a market village to a sheepmonger's shop, coffee at a cafe in the square, and then a class that included 4 courses, all delicious. Highly recommend this if you want to learn more about Maltese food! Thanks, George! (from Lisa, Peter, Robert and Gilad).

    We had an amazing experience cooking traditional Maltese food. It was the first time I got back home from a cooking class with lots of food and presents from the organizers. Food is organic, handmade and with a lovely gozotian soul. Now we know several tricks for the future cooking and new cooking skills upgrade. Totally recommended.

    We took this course to discover Maltese and Gozitan cuisine and were not disappointed.
    Very nice and cozy setting, above the restaurant, the teacher and his young clerk are super friendly and put us at ease. We appreciated the quality of the information that was given during the course, the recipes are given to each participant (pastizzi, ftira, nougat, pea hummus). The recipes are adaptable to vegetarians and vegans. We had a great time with a great group. Now all we have to do is put it into practice at home. We recommend without any hesitation.

    My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this cooking experience. We appreciated learning about the Maltese traditions surrounding their food. We especially liked walking to the cheese monger and then going to a cafe. We loved both the cooking and the eating. Highly recommend.

    I went by myself, and I had an amazing time. I felt so welcome and everyone else on the course was lovely. The food was incredible, the market trip was lovely and I was very full and content by the end! I’ve been to Gozo about 18 times, and this has been one of my favourite experiences. Would definitely recommend! Also, really brilliant staff and gorgeous kitchen.

    This was the best 4 hours spent in Gozo and should definitely be included in your list of things to do, thanks to owner George, chef Graham and the magical courtyard house converted to a restaurant. You learn heaps more than just making 4 Maltese dishes ...lots of cooking tips and tricks ... and you get to eat what you cook. I walked away totally inspired. George thank you for your hospitality and spoiling us. Your kitchen setup for these cooking classes just makes me want to hang around all day everyday. Graham your knowledge of food, herbs and all those wonderful goodies made the time fly by. I’ll be back.

We made for different recipes , from bean dips to baking pastries , and making nought. You eat what you make! Sitting down to a watermelon sprites and your meal. George our host was great.

    Despite cancellation by Tripadvisor, we thoroughly enjoyed the cooking workshop. George is a became Maltesian local, who has a thousand stories to tell about the world , Gozo, Malta, kids, coffee, networking. And in between he shares his knowledge about food, about history of food and different things that happen in his mothers kitchen vs local shops. It's a very pleasant way to learn about Maltese food and all the other things he is offering for discussion. In the background Amelia runs a iht schedule to have most of the ingredients ready. A nice lunch follows that postpones dinner to very late in the evening. A wonderful day with lovely people
