🍷🌶️KZN CURRY MEETS WINE and it just works perfectly.

Thornleigh Wines is breaking tradition in the best way possible with bold, flavour-forward pairings designed for spice lovers 🔥

From rich curries to fragrant spices, every sip is crafted to complement the heat, depth, and complexity of Indian cuisine, not overpower it, but elevate it.

At the heart of it all is Thornton Pillay, recognised as one of South Africa’s first winemakers of Indian origin — bringing a unique cultural perspective into every bottle.

🍷 Think:

soft tannins meeting slow-cooked spice

fruity notes balancing heat

wine that doesn’t fight curry… it dances with it

This is more than a pairing. It’s a story of heritage, flavour, and innovation in South African wine 🇿🇦✨

Book yiur spot at our next Thornleigh Wine and Curry pairing Thornleigh House in Pietermaritzburg.
