Savoring Time: Anya Wine Dinner Series Celebrates the Luxury of the Moment

One-Night-Only Ribera del Duero Kicks Off Anya Resort’s Wine Dinner Series at Samira by Chele Gonzalez

Anya Resort Tagaytay is raising a glass to wine enthusiasts with the launch of the 2025 Anya Wine Dinner Series, a quarterly celebration of fine wines from around the world. General Manager Mikel Arriet shares:
“Anya Resort Tagaytay and Samira by Chele have an extensive wine cellar, and we thought this would be a great way to showcase different wine regions. Every quarter, we will highlight one region, starting with Ribera del Duero. I find its Spanish wines incredibly elegant and bold.”
The series kicks off with Ribera del Duero on February 28th at Samira by Chele Gonzalez, featuring Arriet’s personal selections from the region. The journey continues with:
  • French Discovery – June
  • American Cult Wines – September
  • Sparkling Discovery – November
Arriet elaborates:
“France is often top of mind when talking about wine, and we’ve discovered many exciting selections to showcase for our French Discovery. For American Cult Wines, we’ll explore Napa Valley, one of the most renowned wine-producing regions, home to small yet remarkable winemakers. Finally, Sparkling Discovery was inspired by the world’s most celebrated bubblies. We challenged ourselves to create an unforgettable food and wine pairing experience worthy of these sparkling wines.”
Adding to the excitement, Anya Resort has invited esteemed sommeliers Pierre and Cyril Adison, who have handpicked exceptional wines, each with a unique story to tell.
“We will be opening medium-to-high-range wines from each region, perfectly paired with exquisite dishes by Samira by Chele. Most importantly, guests can look forward to outstanding wine, exceptional cuisine, and the joy of great company in an intimate and welcoming setting,” says Arriet.
For Arriet, time is the greatest luxury, and through the Anya Wine Dinner Series, guests are invited to savor the moment, immersing themselves in enriching wine conversations, impeccable food pairings, and the warmth of good company.

A Limited-Seat, One-Night-Only Experience

Arriet highlights the significance of Ribera del Duero:
“This is one of Spain’s most important wine regions, home to some of its most prestigious and expensive wines. Known for their elegance and full-bodied character, these wines are primarily made from Tempranillo, though the region has also embraced other grape varieties over time.”
The name Ribera del Duero refers to both banks of the Duero River, where fertile land and ideal terroir create perfect conditions for producing exceptional wines. As the first installment of the Anya Wine Dinner Series, Ribera del Duero sets the stage for future events. Arriet hints at something bigger on the horizon:
“Hopefully, this will lead to the creation of the first wine club here in Tagaytay.”
Guests will indulge in an exclusive menu featuring authentic Spanish recipes infused with Chef Chele’s signature touch. Highlights include cold cuts, cheese, gambas, chorizo, lamb, and the iconic Pimenton de la Vera — a distinctive Spanish paprika that gives chorizo its signature color and smoky flavor.
