The pairing of fine wine and curry is not traditional, but organisers hope it will inspire people to be more adventurous with their food and drink.

Navina Bartlett, founder and Boss Lady at Coconut Chilli, said: “At Coconut Chilli, we’re interested in pushing boundaries, and this event is just one example of that. We strive for the best ingredients and cooking techniques and we're not afraid to try something new. Wines and curries is often thought of as a no go, but we want this event to show people they can try something new, have some fun with food, and make people think about curry differently.”

Mimi Avery, 5th generation wine maker at Averys, said: “I have always been a lover of travel and food from around the world – it’s what’s fuelled my passion for wines in up and coming regions. With this event, we really want to help people be bold with their food and wine choices. I’m very excited to welcome Coconut Chilli to Averys and create new food and drink traditions!”
