Championing ugly ducking grape varieties, Californian biodynamic experts Bonny Doon have descended on The Cinnamon Club, for an evening of discovery. Producing ultra-premium wines with a depth and complexity that is shared with Executive Chef Vivek Singh’s own ethos for Indian cuisine – the pairing is an idyllic match.

For one night only, on Tuesday 1st June, eccentric master wine maker Randal Grahm will host a five-course tasting dinner showcasing some of their best vintages that reflect the terroir on a macro and micro level while guests enjoy a stunning five-course dinner. 

 Complementing the Cinnamon Club’s own philosophy of pushing boundaries, this meeting of culinary passion promises to create a memorable evening for fine food and wine enthusiasts.
