This philosophy is fundamental to the company’s ability to consistently produce wines of the highest quality, which have won international recognition. Both wine tasting events will showcase a range of red and white wines carefully paired with Vivek Singh’s celebrated Indian cuisine.

 The Cinnamon Club plays host to the most colourful festival in the Hindu calender, Holi. Thanks to the vibrant innovation of Vivek Singh and Head Chef Hari Nagaraj, diners will be delighted with a dazzling five-course tasting menu from 1st March to the 7th of March 2010. Celebrating the passing of winter, arrival of spring, and triumph of good over evil, Holi unites the whole family for mishchevious merriment. Traditionally coloured water or paint is playfully thrown at passers-by amidst the revelry, although within the Grade II listed building of The Cinnamon Club, diners will be quiet safe. Winning wide acclaim for pushing forward the boundaries of Indian cuisine, Hari and Vivek have ensured that household favourites sit alongside their very own modern interpretations:
