Knowing what you like in a w**e is one thing...knowing why you like it is another 🍷

Molly takes the time to find out what you enjoy, explain a thing or two along the way, and recommend a w**e that makes your dinner even better.

You don't need to know the terminology, or even what to ask for. That's her department.

Want to make an evening of it? We can put together a personalized tasting menu with w**e pairings chosen just for you, all arranged ahead of your visit.

Think girls' night, a private gathering, or a double date with a little something extra.

Or next time you're in, just ask Molly what she'd recommend...who knows, you might even find a new favourite 🍷

The making of the Fall menu 🍂

New ingredients, new flavours, new dishes
Come taste what’s new

Yes, we're still drinking rosé in October.

What we're pouring is back and this week, Molly is pouring Torre Zambra, a lovely transition from summer sipping to fall dining. Fresh and bright, but with enough character to hold its own alongside some of the richer flavours making their way onto the menu.

Think roasted vegetables, seafood, or a few plates shared around the table.

Because good rosé doesn't have an expiry date when summer ends.

Ask us to pour you a glass next time you're in 🥂

The lights are a little lower, the menu’s a little more grounded and staying for one more glass sounds like a very good idea 🍷

Cooler nights have officially made their way to Gio and honestly, we could get used to this.
