As early as 2000 BC, spices such as cinnamon from Sri Lanka and cassia from China found their way along the Spice Routes to the Middle East and Europe.

On 9 May '25, Lesi Restaurant will be celebrating cuisine inspired by that historical journey for a Spice Route Gourmet Pop-Up in association with Lourensford Estate wines.

Join us for an evening of delight as we pair 6 of their incredible wines with dishes created by our team of culinary specialists and chefs.
