Simonsig’s signature restaurant, Cuvée, takes patrons on a culinary journey around the world with their Saturday winter food and music evenings.

Dishes are inspired by the diverse cultures of countries around the world and are paired with statuesque, full-bodied Simonsig red wines. Think hearty tagines and aromatic couscous with lamb when Cuvée travels to Morocco or lean against the Eiffel Tower and enjoy food as pretty as a picture. Also on the travel itinerary, are the vibrant aromas of Italy from rich pastas to succulent osso buco or sip elegant red wine in honour of Asia’s spicy, fragrant flavours of the orient; all to the authentic rhythms originating from these countries.
