ABOUT US
ABOUT YIANNIS WINE & FOOD
At Yiannis Wine & Food, we have a passion for delicious bites and even better wine. Founded by Ioannis Choutris in 2011, we carved out a niche for procuring rare and hard-to-find labels from around the world.
Over time, our dedication to excellence led us to grow into a full-service kitchen, specializing in premium cuts from land and sea while maintaining our commitment to pairing each dish with the perfect bottle of wine.
Dining at Yiannis is an immersive experience—our restaurant is designed like
a wine cellar, with walls lined from floor to ceiling with exceptional bottles.
Whether you're here for an intimate dinner or a lively gathering, our fine dining atmosphere combined with warm hospitality makes every visit special.
Our award-winning kitchen, led by Head Chef Ben Field, delivers high-quality seafood, steaks, and charcuterie, including our First Place-winning She Crab Soup (2024).
With General Manager & Sommelier Chris Gray and CEO Josh Fisher curating the perfect pairings and leading the charge, our team is dedicated to an unforgettable dining experience.
From weekly wine and bourbon tastings to exclusive wine dinners and special events, there's always something exciting happening at Yiannis.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or simply love a great meal with a perfectly paired glass, we invite you to discover the best of local fine dining right in the heart of Great Neck, Virginia Beach.
