Sonyas at VB Wine Pairing Dinner

[Debbie in Townsville]

Has anyone done the Thursday Wine Pairing Dinner at Sonyas at Vero Beach? How was it? What was the menu? How much did it cost? Is there a kids menu?


Thanks!

It's been a while, but I don't recall much of a kids menu - however, I'm pretty sure they would let the kids order off of the shutters menu (which has a kids menu section), since it's the same kitchen.

A Wine Pairing Dinner at Vero Beach! Sounds like one more reason I need to check out Vero Beach. Does anyone have any details on the dinner? Cost, type of food, etc.
As new DVC owners (BCV), we're trying to learn as much as possible about the various places we might like to stay.
Vero Beach definitely sounds like one of them and we plan to drive over and check it out when we're at WDW the first week of May.

Sonya's is somewhat pricey - not V&A's pricey, but certainly upscale. Entree's for dinner start around $18-$20 and go up from there. They do have a very nice Sunday brunch.

There are a large number of very good places to eat near Vero - they have a book with menu's from all the local places kept near the front desk.

Does anyone have any additional information on this dinner? We are going in two months and would love to try this. Thanks for your help.

Sounds delicious! Being a new DVC owner and never having stayed away from WDW, I'm not sure of the procedure for making ressies outside of the world. Can we make ressies through WDWDine or MS, or do I need to call the restuarants directly when making ressies outside of WDW. Thanks for all the great info.

 

[Debbie in Townsville]

You have to call VB directly, one of the options on the menu is for PS. You can only make them 30days in advance for both the restaurants.

Still looking for any input from someone that's done the wine pairing!
